A successful cyberattack directed against U.S. space systems and related infrastructure will have sever consequences for national security, the economy, as well as safety, and quality of life. Cyber effects on U.S. space systems can disrupt, deny, degrade, deceive, or destroy the space capabilities upon which the world has become increasingly dependent.
Today’s cyber operations require the capabilities for real-time threat detection and rapid, intelligent mitigation with autonomous prescribed courses of action. The development of such capabilities for the contested space domain is essential to combat emergent threats.
