Spacepower: Weaponizing Space to Advance American Military Dominance

The space environment is vital to the current American way of war and will exponentially increase in importance moving into the future. Despite its importance to the U.S. military, the space environment is a vulnerable, uncertain, and unexploited domain. The United States should exploit its current superiority in space by being the first nation to weaponize the domain by deploying space weapons, establishing the capability to control activities in space by force, and by setting-up a new international framework for outer space in order to advance Americas military dominance into the future.
