NEW EVENT | On Wednesday, August 13 at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Atlantic Council will host a panel discussion featuring Jennifer Cannon, Peter Hays, and @VSamson_DC on the Space Force’s recently released "Space Warfighting: A Framework for Planners."
In conversation with @CStarlingD, director of Forward Defense, the panelists will provide outside perspectives on the new framework, which provides operational planning considerations for conflict and combat in the space domain. The discussion will explore how the framework guides the US Space Force in both peacetime competition and conflict, balances offensive and defensive operations, and integrates cutting-edge technologies with human decision-making
The experts will also examine how the United States and its allies can responsibly project power in space while leveraging the commercial sector to ensure enduring advantage, credible deterrence, and integrated multidomain operations.
