Entering Year Four, Space Force Focusing on Cyber Capabilities

Abstract:

At a high level, this article overviews the way that the newest branch of the United States military, the United States Space Force (USSF), is reacting to the interrelation between cyber security and various domains in the 21st century. Although the article primarily focuses on space as a warfighting domain, it greatly highlights the importance of electronic warfare as it relates to cyber security. More specifically, the USSF is now integrating a focus on cyber warfare resilience through various exercises, training programs, and personnel acquisition. These programs are of great importance given our modern-day reliance on connectivity which often is routed through satellites, or other technologies, in space.
