New Defense ✴︎
The new warzone will be dominated by hybrid, grey-zone, asymmetrical, space-based, electronic, unmanned and autonomous warfare. Development and counter-development of ordnance will be measured in weeks, in-situ adaptations in hours. Software will define requirements, and information will be processed into action automatically. Doctrine will be in constant flux, and the battlefield will host hundreds of separate governmental, commercial and volunteer actors.
New Space ❉
The new orbital arena will be a highly contested space, full of proliferated systems, national and private actors, and intra- and inter-orbital traffic. Reusability will be measured in turnaround time and cost. Satellites will be assembled on orbit out of readymade subsystems like desktop PCs and have infinite lifespans. Scarcity will be the norm in frequencies and orbital slots, as lower orbits are filled with proliferated constellations.
