Like the narration to introduce the “Star Trek” television shows and movies described, space is, indeed, “the final frontier.” The value and promise of space to U.S. and allied nation military and commercial interests, is tremendous…almost limitless, like space itself.
However, space also presents tremendous risks to the U.S. and our allies.
Space has the potential of being exploited by our adversaries, which could lead to incredibly severe implications for the future of defense and security in our nation and the free world.
These threats are not science fiction. They are very real.
The U.S. Department of Defense and Intelligence Community must continually watch and remain aware of the different types of threats to space assets and their impact on national security and other U.S. interests.
DoD or IC personnel must understand the challenges to security in space and other related topics. This critical need also extends to other professionals in the defense and intelligence fields.
As a professional employed by the DoD, Intelligence Community organization or government contractor company supporting these mission areas, how would you rate your space acumen?
This short and highly digestible online course provides a foundational overview of one of the top challenges to security in space: how adversary nations can deny the U.S. and other allied nations access to critical space assets.
Among other compelling topics, the course covers why space is so important to U.S. military and civilian interests and the risks and grave implications if/when nations deny others access to space assets.
Develop new knowledge about security in space with an investment of a short amount of time (estimated at one hour) and advance your career in defense or intelligence with us!
