Credit Validation

Course Description

Credit Validation for ISR University/Global Space University Participants Only

Space 310 is the continuation of a career-long pursuit for space professionals to develop the global perspective necessary to provide innovative solutions to the Joint community. The 2018 US National Security Strategy identifies three main sets of challengers to US and global security – the revisionist powers of China and Russia, the rogue states of Iran and North Korea, and transnational threat organizations, particularly jihadist terrorist groups. China and Russia threaten the ability of nations around the world to deter aggression, protect national interests, and fight and win future conflicts. Simultaneously, the rapidly expanding commercial space industry provides low-cost space capabilities & options for nations and actors across the globe to enter a previously inaccessible domain. China and Russia are developing a wide array of counter-space weapons to hinder international access to essential space services and purposefully interfere with the electro-magnetic spectrum. Private industry is developing orbital maintenance and orbital debris removal capabilities which will represent future counterspace threats. This course flows through the Threat Continuum providing required insight to ensure freedom of action in space and, when necessary, defend against threats and deny International freedom of action in space.
