Book excerpt: This report focuses on the health and competitiveness of the U.S. Space Industrial Base, including the associated impacts of U.S. export controls. The Department of Commerce (DOC), Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) developed, deployed, and verified data collection from a survey of space industry companies. The study involved a broad look at industrial base indicators and a detailed analysis of the BIS survey inputs. Foreign competition is real and growing. Moreover, there is some evidence that U.S. export controls give foreign competitors a perceived advantage in marketing to non-U.S. customers. Segments of the U.S. space industry feel threatened competitively and see export controls as the main factor undermining their ability to compete for sales in foreign markets. The U.S. space industry has, in general, been healthy for the 2003-2006 period and very competitive domestically for both defense and commercial products and services; however, the global space market has changed significantly since 1998-1999 when the U.S. Government made major modifications to its overall export control regulations for space-related products and services. The U.S. industry now faces strong and growing competition, primarily from European firms, and is losing market share in allied countries. Reportedly, ITAR has impacted U.S. competitiveness by encouraging other nations, in many cases our allies, to develop indigenous space capabilities and industries that now market globally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) deterioration and increased DOD interest in space exploitation highlights the U.S. satellite industry as one DIB sector requiring analysis. Despite DIB problems, this industry must maintain the capability to produce advanced satellites for the DOD. Commercial Military Integration (CMI) will, according to experts, eliminate problems inherent with a separate DIB. This research focused on investigating satellite industry capability to meet DOD space requirements. Through literature review, case study analysis and interviews, effects of a shrinking DIB on the satellite industry were determined. A model for DIB strength was developed and analyzed through literature review. General Electric Aircraft Engines (GEAE) case study showed the potential for commercializing the DIB. Research focused on satellite industry executives whose perspectives illustrated industry capability to meet defense space needs. Results indicated continued DIB deterioration unless Government and defense industry leaders intervene. GEAE sales performance demonstrated how commercializing the DIB can provide stability. Interviews confirmed the satellite industry's ability to meet defense needs, yet space architecture and launch vehicle issues must be addressed. Through flexible manufacturing, dual use and smaller, smart satellites/satellite services, this industry can produce high quality, inexpensive satellites for defense/commercial markets faster, providing additional surge/mobilization capability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This May 2019 white paper is a call to action to address present and emerging challenges and threats to the U.S. space industrial base and space dominance. It summarizes the discussions, conclusions and recommendations from a meeting on March 11 and 12, 2019 of interested parties and experts gathered from across government, academia and industry sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The meeting was motivated by the recognition that in an ever more global and interconnected world, commercial, civil and national defense space capabilities are increasingly vital to national power. To preserve and expand that power requires a coordinated national space strategy and a vibrant, competitive and agile U.S. space industrial base to execute that strategy. The objectives of this meeting were to examine the increasing contribution of space to national economic, political and military power; the U.S. space industrial base required to ensure and expand that power; current and emerging challenges and threats to the space industrial base; and potential strategies to address those challenges and threats.We define the 'U.S. space industrial base' as the private-sector, industry-suppliers of technology, hardware, software, systems, data and financial and insurance capacities that grow the space economy to serve our nation's civilian, civil and national security interests. The U.S. space industrial base is presently a relatively small, nascent part of the national and global economy. As such, it remains particularly vulnerable to, and the government must protect it from, manipulation, distortion, penetration and domination by our adversaries, allies and neutral countries. While the U.S. has long played a dominant role in space and continues to make significant space investments across civil, military and commercial space, the overall domestic effort is insufficiently integrated, focused and leveraged to address the challenges and threats to our Nation's dominant position.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern about the defense industrial base and its ability to respond to increased demand for goods produced for the Department of Defense during a surge has become an important issue with Headquarters United States Air Force. This thesis project was an effort to identify key industries supporting DOD aerospace commodity requirements and to assess the identified industries' ability to surge from a capacity utilization view. Ninety-six industries were identified as the manufacturing industries supporting the production of aerospace goods purchased by the Department of Defense. Three of those industries lacked the production capacity to respond to a surge, while eight other industries were identified as vulnerable to potential bottlenecks during a surge. (Author).

Book excerpt: For more than 50 years, the United States used the inventiveness and productivity of its economy to overmaster Soviet advantages in numbers and geography. This 3asymmetric4 strategy--arguably the most sustained and extensive in history--proved triply successful. It brought superior defense and intelligence capabilities, many of which might remain unchallenged for years to come. It brought economic advancement, as national security research and engineering found commercial and civil applications. And, it brought scientific and technological advancement, demanding and fueling basic and applied research at universities, public corporations, and commercial companies. These benefits are still eagerly welcomed today, but it is not clear how they might be continued. Over the past 10 years the technical and industrial base serving US defense needs has shrunk and congealed, as changing international and budgetary circumstances have brought different threats, smaller force structures, and much smaller procurement budgets. And, other markets have offered far greater commercial rewards. Accordingly, the US national security community has thus been looking for opportunities to participate more fully in commercial processes, and on occasion to go further, to use public budgets and policies to shape and structure those processes. For example, Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Jacques Gansler declared to Congress in May 2000 that 3it is clearly in the national interest (in the absence of 1normal2 market forces) for us to create an enabling environment to ensure a competitive, healthy, and technologically advanced defense industrial base.4 The space industrial sector has been of particular concern given its intimate connection with national security operations and plans, its broad importance for science and technology, and its competitive position toward foreign governments and producers. However, the industry has been struggling, and without US government actions it may not have the depth and vitality to provide affordable solutions to future national security requirements. What type of government action could improve the situation? This is the question addressed in this paper by Dr. Robert Butterworth, a consultant on space policy issues for several years and currently a visiting professor at the Air War College. He notes that the Defense Department has long hoped that its needs for space products and services could be supplied by an industrial base that is sustained by commercial sales. However, according to Dr. Butter-worth2s analysis, that day has not yet arrived--despite years of targeted purchases, investments, and acquisition reform. The author proposes a more promising approach based on a strategic outlook on research, development, and procurement. While such an approach could prove difficult to sustain, working toward it could reduce the likelihood of more counterproductive policies. In the end, Dr. Butterworth suggests that space programs are likely to achieve innovation and cost control in the future as they did in the past--through active government participation and managed competition. As with all Maxwell Papers, this study is provided in the spirit of academic freedom, open debate, and serious consideration of the issues. We encourage your responses.

Download or read book Space Technology Export Controls and International Cooperation in Outer Space written by Michael Mineiro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Export controls definitively impact international cooperation in outer space. Civil and commercial space actors that engage in international endeavors must comply with space technology export controls. In the general discourse, members of the civil and commercial space community have an understanding of their domestic export control regime. However, a careful reading of the literature on space technology export controls reveals that certain questions relevant to international engagements have not been identified or answered. What is the legal-political origin of space technology export controls? How do they relate to the current international legal structure? What steps can be taken to evolve our current unilateral paradigm of space technology within the context of peaceful exploration and use of outer space? In this book, these and other relevant questions on space technology export controls are identified and assessed through an insightful case-study of the U.S. commercial communication export control regime. The findings of this case-study are used in an international legal-political analysis of international space law, public international law, and international cooperation. Breaking new ground in international legal theory, a self-justified security dilemma that is manifest in international law is identified and explained as the origin for the current paradigm of space technology export controls.
