Space is emerging as the decisive domain for national security, shaping how the United States and its allies deter conflict, protect infrastructure, and project power. With adversaries advancing counterspace weapons and commercial innovation accelerating, the military faces pressing questions of resilience, acquisition, and strategy. The future of space is not only about satellites and launches, it is about how defense leaders adapt operations, partnerships, and procurement to keep pace in a contested environment.

During this discussion, join Defense one as they talk about what is ahead for space in the national security enterprise. The conversation will highlight priorities for building cyber-resilient systems, strengthening partnerships with allies and across the services, and adopting emerging technologies from AI-enabled analytics to commercial launch and satellite platforms. It will also examine how the Department is balancing immediate operational demands with long-term investments, and how the evolving space domain is reshaping the defense industrial base.
