Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative — Ep. 272

Episode Summary: Space superiority is essential to U.S. national security. Achieving that requires the Department of War to conduct a review of space roles and missions to clarify institutional responsibilities and prioritize cross-domain capability investments. Jennifer Reeves discusses her recommendations from her new policy paper, Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative , with Director of Global Space Operations, Maj. Gen. Anthony J. Mastalir. Bottom line: for decades, space has predominantly focused on terrestrial activities…now, it’s time to see how capabilities on earth can support warfighting demands on orbit.
