Coming soon: a Space Force commercial strategy document, intended to baseline terms of reference for military use of commercial space services. It will, among other things, “define what we mean by commercial activity, what is a critical function, what are inherently governmental functions, (and) what tasks can be executed by the private sector.”

🛰️ How can the #UK balance the needs of the defence and commercial #space industries? The UK's holistic approach breaks down traditional barriers between civil and military assets, but heightened geopolitical tensions pose a growing risk to #satellite operations. Learn more about the UK's space strategy by reading Declan Dundas and Lea Pavlovic's article here 👇

It’s official…8 Dec 2023 we’ll be establishing the Space Force Component to EUCOM and AFRICOM. ‘SPACE-EURAF’ is the critical next step in normalizing presentation of space forces.

The Pentagon’s overtures to private companies in the U.S. and allied countries reflect this understanding: that #Space is now a crucial battleground. Satellites form the backbone of modern military infrastructure, supporting vital functions like precise navigation and secure communication. https://lnkd.in/dYFXgVsX

this article describes very well how the Amerindian military will have to integrate with space technologies. European states must support such integration in order to properly extend maximum security conditions to the entire NATO area. Space economy is a top priority, new investments are needed! https://lnkd.in/dZSDjaZ4

Our exploration of the final frontier has always had a defence and security element. As private actors intensify their space activities, how does this intertwine with the defence sector? What is the UK's position in all of this? Lea and I explore this in our blog article, 'Securing the final frontier: British perspectives on commercial defence in space'. If you would like to learn more about the UK space defence strategy and its implications for your market and business, please do just drop me a message. #spacelaw #spacepolicy #spacesecurity

🛰 I like to call this year *the* European year of space-defence, so lets have a look at the UK's approach to the theme in its Space Strategy: Declan Dundas #space #defence #uk #spacestrategy #satellite

Boeing was awarded a $439.6 million contract by the U.S. Space Force to build a military communications satellite known as WGS-12. The contract was announced March 1 by the Defense Department. WGS-12 will be the 12th satellite of the Wideband Global Satcom geostationary constellation that provides communications services to the United States and allies. Boeing builds military satellites in El Segundo, California. According to the contract announcement, WGS-12 would be delivered in January 2029. Looking for opportunities to support such efforts?

Space tends to grip the public imagination, but these forays are not driven by vanity. China, like the U.S., like Europe and like the other main players on the world stage, understands that Space is now one of the key arenas in a potential conflict, and a key driver of innovation across the board. And while the U.S. remains the preeminent space and military power, China’s rapid advancements are narrowing the gap.
