From the Center for Strategic and International Studies comes a report on U.S. military use of satellites in space as a way to maintain "information superiority." They explore possible ways to encourage the building of satellite infrastructure by U.S. companies and examine the military's response to opponents' use of satellite imagery and other satellite information. They argue that current technology transfer restrictions are actually hurting the U.S. satellite companies, leading to a satellite gap. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The United States must operate successfully in space to help assure its security and economic well being. The Department of the Navy is a major user of space capabilities, although those capabilities are now primarily provided by DOD, the Air Force, and NOAA. Following a DOD assessment of national space security management in 2001, the Navy commissioned a Panel to Review Space to assess Navy space policy and strategy. As an extension of that review, the NRC was requested by the Navy to examine its needs in space for providing future operational and technical capabilities. This report presents a discussion of the strategic framework of future space needs, the roles and responsibilities for meeting those needs, an assessment of Navy support to space mission areas, and a proposed vision for fulfilling Naval forces space needs.
