The challenge of space: further strategic defense considerations for the United States

Article Abstract:

Military strategy for space is similar to naval strategy, with forces dispersed over a wide area, and major technological concentrations which are expensive. Satellites involve high technology. Brilliant Pebbles is a missile defense concept arising from the Strategic Defense Initiative, and involving a large number of satellites in a low orbit around the Earth. Briiliant Pebbles can be seen as a reserve based in space. Space defense can be used for intelligence and against ballistic missiles, though it is not a guarantee of victory. There are commercial and industrial applications for military space technology.
