This chapter considers space systems, which today provide support for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance activities that are vital to national security. Nevertheless, exploiting space to enable terrestrial military operations entails more than just placing systems into orbit, these systems must be integrated into existing force structures, military doctrines, operations, and even logistical procedures before they can reach their full potential. This chapter reviews various types of space assets and how these systems shape military tactics, operations, strategies, and national security policies. It also identifies ongoing space developments that might affect the future impact of space-based assets on national security before concluding with a few recommendations and considerations for future research.
