The U.S. Space Command sees the integration, cooperation and strategic partnerships with allied nations and commercial industry as one of the United States’ strongest deterrents.
During the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies’ Schriever Spacepower Series, Lt. Gen. Thomas James, USSPACECOM deputy commander, said the command is focused on synchronizing the space-related capabilities of the joint force, allies and partners, industry, commercial partners, and academia to achieve space superiority.
Orbital warfare will take a “holistic approach,” and achieving space superiority will take a “joint, multidomain, allied, coalition approach–a strategic partnership approach,” James explained, noting that adversaries are building military space architecture to hold the U.S. and its allies’ space systems at risk in conflict.
Achieving Space Superiority Through AI, Other Tech
According to the deputy commander, USSPACECOM is responsible for defining warfighting requirements and identifying the most effective and efficient capabilities for achieving space superiority. He said artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics are among the technologies that could help address the challenge of space superiority, which should include the capability to counter threats and use automation to learn in real time.
