Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Investment in commercial space systems is exploding. As the military faces ever-tighter fiscal constraints, leasing commercial systems to support military requirements is becoming significantly more cost effective, hence the US military, almost without knowing it, is becoming increasingly reliant on the capabilities provided by commercial space systems. Given this reliance, not to mention the economic importance of this sector to the nation's financial health, the question of whether these systems are susceptible to attack deserves careful consideration. This study examines the unclassified literature to determine if a laser threat to commercial space systems is realistic, whether commercial space systems are vulnerable to laser attacks, and whether US military doctrine is sufficient for dealing with whatever threat emerges. In answering this question, we must first understand the critical assumption in this question: the satellites are targets because the perpetrator desires to keep their attack covert. Without this assumption, it is difficult to imagine any potential adversary dedicating the time and resources necessary to develop such a technologically challenging weapon system as the other portions of the space system (e.g. the ground segment or the electronic link between the ground and space) are significantly more vulnerable to direct attack than is the space system. The idea of a laser attack against satellite systems is not new, but is it realistic.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How we think has important effects on what possibilities our thoughts produce. The impact of theory on how we think can not be overstated. Acknowledged or not, humans process information through mental constructs to make order out of chaos and that fundamentally affect the relative importance ascribed to the incoming data. Professionals throughout the Department of Defense and other branches of the US government have long debated the need to produce separate space theory or whether a modified version of air theory is sufficient to guide the emerging ability to exploit space. Too often, this debate devolves into frequently acrimonious arguments over resource allocation and service independence rather than the addressing the fundamental issue of theory. This study ignores these issues in the attempt to resolve the fundamental question: are the physical characteristics of the space environment sufficiently different to require an independent body of theory to guide operators in seizing its full exploitation potential Space is not the first environment that man has gained a new ability to exploit as a result of improving technology. The ability to exploit the subsurface naval environment began emerging in the early 1900's and was significant in both World Wars.
