For decades, Russia, China & the US have engaged in covert Grey-Zone Warfare in space...what happens if it suddenly turns hot? Paul Szymanski discusses the Oreshnik IRBM, China's FOBS & modern space warfare.

In addition to discussing military strategy, tactics & weapons like the Russia IRBM, Chinese Fractional Orbital Bombardment (FOBS) system, and non-kinetic cyberattacks on satellite system, we'll explore the ramifications of space warfare on commercial constellations like Starlink.

Commercial satellite systems are increasingly useful for long-range control of drones and other command & control activities in combat zones where conventional communications equipment has been disabled. We broach the very real question of when commercial space infrastructure is co-opted for military purposes, and what kind of risk that poses for civilian communications traffic.

Paul Szymanski is a noted expert in space warfare theory, policy, doctrine, strategies & tactics. Paul’s background includes expertise in space control, space superiority, force application Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Space Domain Awareness (SDA) & space Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) studies, analyses, simulations & operations research.
