Synopsis

The weaponization of space is a long debated topic. So far, space-based assets have not been targeted, although the technology exists to permit this kind of attack. The central research question is: Should the U.S. develop and employ space-based weapons? The nature of the threat leads the U.S. to three possible courses of action: keep space sanctuary, develop defensive weapons and measures only, or develop offensive and defensive weapons. Each course of action affects the U.S. national instruments of power: diplomatic, information, military, and economic, in different ways. The best course of action for the U.S. to take is to develop defensive weapons and measures only.
