As space becomes increasingly central to modern defence architectures, ensuring that the UK and its allies can operate effectively in orbit is a pressing strategic priority.
This day-long conference will explore space dependency in modern warfare, counterspace capabilities developed by strategic competitors, and the technological and doctrinal choices facing Britain within an allied framework.
The event will also mark the launch of our flagship research report examining the ground-based and orbital capabilities required to bolster the UK’s strategic standing.
