Space Force was often spoofed upon its inception, but since then it has received a boon in new resources. Here's the state of the beyond—from space-junk and satellite vulnerabilities to the war in Ukraine:
. There, he argues that the US military should treat space as an “area of responsibility,” territory that needs to be maintained and defended, not merely traversed by spacecraft. In his paper and this exclusive conversation with WIRED, Shaw frequently makes historical references—his paper’s title alludes toThis conversation has been edited for length and clarity.Shaw: They’re called military orders. [Laughs.] I came to US Space Command as the deputy in November of 2020.
With regard to the asteroid question: That’s what we call planetary defense. So far we haven’t detected one that’s on a collision course. NASA is responsible for that detection mission. But we help with some of the sensors we have that could also look way out into space. So we’re supporting NASA in that regard. If we identify something, we’ll shift to “Can we deflect it somehow?” We’re going to see a terrific experiment later this year, if you’re tracking the.
So why are China and Russia doing this? Because they see what space means to modern warfare, and how dependent our terrestrial forces are on space capabilities. And they want to hold them at risk, because they’re actually afraid of the capabilities that our space assets bring to bear. When you as a military commander are assigned an area of responsibility, that changes your focus a bit. It’s not just about delivering capabilities to the terrestrial spheres that are outside the area; you now have responsibility for activities and threats and other hazards that exist within that area of responsibility. And that goes back to time immemorial.
You’re absolutely right to note that cyberattacks are a key “threat vector”—it’s what we would call it. And it may or may not be more likely, but it’s definitely prominent among all the threat vectors that we’re concerned about. We’re concerned about physical attack, electromagnetic attack, and cyberattack on any of our space capabilities, and so we need to take measures to defend against that.
Has your perspective changed at all following the Russian war in Ukraine? Have your concerns or policy recommendations changed over the past couple months? I think where you start is where we have seen in other domains, particularly in the maritime and air domains, where there are just really common-sense things that actors in those domains do to ensure safe and responsible operations. How do you properly operate? How do you ensure you’re in proper shipping lanes, the right of way, giving way to other ships in certain circumstances? I think pretty much everybody likes those rules. That’s where I would start.
