On September 25, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Mir Sadat was featured on The Hill stressing the need for a reconsideration of US space strategy to deter aggression by adversaries. He criticized the two-layered approach of current deterrence strategy related to space, highlighting that a new strategy is needed for establishing successful deterrence measures.
The United States’s dwindling space dominance is challenged by peer competitors and near-peer rivals who recognize, likely even more so than the American public, that America’s asymmetric advantage in orbit is also its Achilles’ heel.
Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
