Washington, D.C. • May 20-21, 2010

 

Critical Missions, Needs and Programs

 

The United States is dependent on space assets to sustain economic prosperity and support military operations worldwide. Exploitation of outer space has provided the United States with distinct competitive and strategic advantages. America’s reliance on space has also created vulnerabilities in defense strategies that assume U.S. Space Control. Adversaries have cited a reliance on space as the potential Achilles Heel of U.S. military power. It is vital that the myriad of threats be addressed to avoid future scenarios where America’s freedom of action is taken away. Ensuring space security and defense missions are achieved has become a top priority. What roles will your organization fulfill to ensure this takes place?

This outstanding conference will examine major space security and defense programs, plans, needs, opportunities and missions facing the United States. Space systems and technologies will play critical roles in future combat operations, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, missile defense, communications, homeland security, anti-terrorism, space exploration and more.

  • What are OSD, USAF, USN, and USA needs in space?
     
  • What capabilities and systems are needed to protect U.S. space operations?
     
  • What are the critical needs for attaining Space Situational Awareness?
     
  • What are the newest innovations, applications and opportunities in the space security and defense sector?

These and many other critical questions will be addressed during this important two-day event.
