Emerging and Future Technologies for Space Based Operations Support to NATO Military Operations (North Atlantic Treaty Organization Research and Technology Organisation Specialists' Meeting). Technical Evaluation Report.

摘要

All together 25 papers were presented at the seminar as oral speeches. Of these, three were keynote speeches. In addition, eight poster papers were displayed in the conference area. The presentations covered a relatively broad range of topics related to space exploitation and exploration. The basic message from most of the speakers was that the battle field will be served/supported by space based systems in a much higher degree than today. Many functions will also be removed from battlespace to secure positions in the homeland, reducing the risk of especially personnel but also vulnerable equipment. The meeting was professionally organized by the Romanian hosts. The scientific content was of high and clear relevance for future NATO operations where space can be a significant contributor in order to gain military superiority.
