Investigator(s) Moltz, James C.
Sponsor Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DoD)
Summary Professor Moltz will conduct research and write a briefing discussing emerging threats to U.S. space assets and possible options for redressing these vulnerabilities through the development of an integrated satellite architecture among U.S. military allies. Professor Moltz will first brief the underlying concept behind this study to the DTRA/ASCO Track 2 meetings in Hawaii in February 2010 (if requested by DTRA) with Japanese and South Korean officials, experts, and military personnel. Based on initial feedback, he will then conduct additional research and hold discussions with relevant U.S. space officials and operators to determine possible parameters. A contractor will provide a technical analysis of related system requirements and compatibility issues. The final study will be completed in the late fall of 2010 and briefed in Washington, DC for DTRA/ASCO, OSD Space Policy, the State Department and other relevant parties.
