The Critical Role of Space In Achieving Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control

The Critical Role of Space In Achieving Combined Joint All Domain Command and Control

In preparation for the Space Operations Summit 2024, we were privileged to receive an article from MITRE on the importance of Space on multi-domain C2. In this piece, Dr Eliahu Niewood and Chris Niessen make it loud and clear that there could be no multidomain operations without a mastery of space. The article covers how space is essential for critical aspects of JADC2 such as:

  • Communication
  • Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
  • Sensing
Space Operations Market Report 2025-2029: Selected Markets

Space Operations Market Report 2025-2029: Selected Markets

Space has become the ultimate high ground for forces worldwide, where whoever controls it will have significant advantages over adversaries. The importance of this domain is such that not only is investment increasing exponentially among established players, but new players come onto the scene every year. Furthermore, it is increasingly evident that Space is also becoming increasingly important in ensuring a nation’s infrastructure and security. This market report covers some of the most important national and international programs in the space domain while also delivering spending forecasts for some of the most active and important nations.

Launching a Space Industry, Interview with Matthew Archer, Director of Launch, UK Space Agency

The UK is currently focusing on becoming a major player in space, specialising in small satellite launch. We were privileged to interview Matthew Archer, Director of Launch for the UK Space Agency. In this interview he covers the state-of-play of UK launch while emphasising the importance of agency, industry, and international collaboration and alignment to ensure the UK remains a competitive player in the space sector. Perhaps most important of all, he delves into how the Agency’s open policy can be used for the benefit of organisations and individuals with an interest in space.

Current State-Of-Play in Space, Interview with James Black, European Lead for RAND Space Enterprise, RAND Corporation

Current State-Of-Play in Space, Interview with James Black, European Lead for RAND Space Enterprise, RAND Corporation

Space is an ever-growing domain subject to constant disruption due to a multiple of factors ranging from technology to politics. We had the privilege of interviewing RAND Space expert James Black, who goes into detail about the current state-of-play in space, delving into the challenges but also the opportunities. In this piece, he explores the multiple avenues the space domain may take while also giving context to some of the most recent events that affected space such as the War in Ukraine. As an emergent domain, there is still a lot to be done to ensure that Space remains a prosperous and safe domain from the satellites themselves, all the way down to the supply chains that sustain them.

As space becomes more accessible, more nations are beginning to incorporate the domain into their national strategies. While the US remains at the lead in spending, new entrants such as Poland have emerged, while the UK and France have both pledged to increase their spending. This market report covers spending from selected countries on:

  • Point Navigation and Timing Systems (PNT)
  • Communications/SatCom
  • Third Party Launches
  • Data Gathering
  • Earth Observations
  • Space Training

Speaker Presentation: “SPACE ASSETS” VERSUS “SPACE SERVICES” WHERE IS THE ADDED VALUE?

This exclusive presentation from Brigadier-General Friedrich Teichmann, Director, Geospatial Institute, Austrian Armed Forces, which was delivered at the 2023 conference covers:

  • Space is becoming more competitive, congested and confrontational with new risks for the satellites (e.g. debris) and new threats against the satellites (e.g. ASAT): A need driven analysis for space operations is required
  • Thoughts on the current ‘space hype’ and why now?
  • Detailed analysis into the value of space services and space assets in aiding national security and defence

Hear from Brigadier-General Friedrich Teichmann at the 2024 Space Operations Summit as he discusses the current developments in ‘space activities’ of the Austrian Armed Forces
