Download or read book The Militarization and Weaponization of Space written by Matthew Mowthorpe and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The militarization of space began as a rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union and grew to enormous proportions during the height of the Cold War. Satellite reconnaissance, navigation and weapons guidance, and electronic intelligence comprise only a few of the efforts taken to militarize and dominate space. Today as the prominence of information technology, computing, and telecommunications advances, so does the concept of space as a battlefield. In The Militarization and Weaponization of Space, Matthew Mowthorpe diligently analyzes the military space policies of the United States, the Soviet Union/Russia, and the People's Republic of China from the Cold War period to the present day. Mowthorpe focuses on the development of the ballistic missile defense and other anti-satellite systems and aptly assesses to what degree space will become armed. This work cogently addresses an issue of increasing urgency to scholars of international politics.
Download or read book Another Brick in the Wall written by Jean-Loup Samaan and published by Letort Papers. This book was released on 2015-04 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last years, missile defense has resurfaced as a major feature of the strategic debate in the United States and among its close allies. As demonstrated during the last clashes between the Israeli Defense Forces and Palestinian factions (2012 and 2014), missile defense is now a pillar of Israel's strategic culture. Understanding this evolution demands an in-depth look at its political, military, and technical ramifications. That is the very purpose of this new monograph by Dr. Jean-Loup Samaan. Based on archival research and numerous interviews with key players in Israel, Dr. Samaan provides us with one of the first comprehensive appraisals of Is-rael's experience in missile defense. U.S. intelligence and defense planners as well as scholars, practitioners, historians, especially military historians, veterans, and lawmakers may be most interested in this text that showcases the history of Israel's missile defense enterprise. International relations, defense manufacturers, military leaders, personnel, and strategists may also be interested in this work. Additionally, students pursuing coursework in military and political science with specialties in foreign policy, and national security intelligence may find this text useful for supplemental reading.

Download or read book Military Space Power written by James Fergusson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-02-26 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook examines the militarization of space, providing a fair and balanced discussion of the emerging issues concerning space security and defense. The militarization of space is already underway, with unpredictable consequences for the way war will be conducted in the future. Military Space Power: A Guide to the Issuesexamines the militarization of space from historical, technological, and geopolitical angles. It traces space militarization from concepts proposed before World War II through the use of space for military surveillance and communications purposes to the actual deployment of weapons that pass through high-altitude space, such as ballistic missiles and nuclear-armed interceptors. The book focuses on the main space pioneers like the United States, Russia, and China, but also includes discussion of potential future players. It looks at the state of current space technology, but also projects how recent inventions or new discoveries might be weaponized for the space environment. And it analyzes how the militarization of space might influence international relations. The result is a fair and balanced discussion of the emerging issues concerning space security and defense.
