From the authors' abstract: "This analytical study looks at the importance of Deep Space Operations and recommends an approach for senior policy leaders. Section 1 presents a capability requirements definition with candidate solutions and technology strategies. Section 2 recommends an acquisition and organizational approach. Section 3 provides an extended strategic rationale for deep space operations as a national priority."And from the Introduction: [this essay] "presents capability requirements, potential solutions, and strategic rationale for achieving movement and maneuver advantage in deep space. In this context, deep space is anything beyond geosynchronous Earth orbit (GEO). Driving the research are two primary assumptions underpinning the need for investment in deep space propulsion. The first assumption is that growing international activity, commerce, and industry in space extends the global commons, thus creating a military-economic imperative for the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to expand its protection of U.S. interests by defending space lines of communication. Although there are wide-ranging reasons to expand the space-faring capabilities of the human species, from the capitalistic to the existential, the fact of its occurrence offers the U.S. immense strategic opportunity. Section 1, operating on this assumption, recommends capability-based requirements for deep space operations given a projected future operating environment.The second driving assumption underpinning this study is that improved movement and maneuver capabilities in deep space offer a wide array of benefits for the current National Security Enterprise, and for this reason alone demands attention in the form of disciplined investment. Furthermore, because the core functional capability required for deep space operations is in-space propulsion, the requirement necessitates a materiel solution.

It provides guidance for the development and employment of USSF personnel, covering topics such as organization, force development, resilience, and global perspective. It outlines the roles and responsibilities of various USSF commands and personnel organizations and emphasizes the importance of personnel readiness and resilience in supporting the USSF's mission. The document also discusses the USSF's approach to force development, including recruitment, training, education, and experience-based development, and the use of developmental teams. It also mentions the consideration of personal circumstances and aspirations in promotion and assignment decisions.This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts. It includes three types of abstracts, including TLDR (one word), synopsis, and visual abstracts; plus Notable Passages and Nutshell Summaries for each page.

Fresh on the creation of United States Space Force in December 2019, three key organizatons met to secure the United States future in space: Space Force, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Defense Innovation Unit. This report answers the key question, "After Space Force: Now what?"This document is a summary report titled "State of the Space Industrial Base 2020" which discusses the current state of the space industry in the United States. It includes insights and recommendations from a workshop that brought together voices from the federal government, industry, and academia. The report highlights the challenges and opportunities facing the US in maintaining its leadership in space, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. It emphasizes the need for a strong national vision and the importance of government support and private investment in the space industry. The document also provides information on the current state of the space industrial base, potential courses of action for the US government, and the role of public-private partnerships and international collaboration. Overall, it provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the space industry in the United States and the need for action to sustain US economic and military leadership in space.This annotated edition illustrates the capabilities of the AI Lab for Book-Lovers to add context and ease-of-use to manuscripts. It includes five types of abstracts, building from simplest to more complex: TLDR (one word), ELI5, TLDR (vanilla), Scientific Style, and Action Items; three essays to increase viewpoint diversity: Ground forDissent; Red Team Critique; and MAGA Perspective; and Notable Passages and Nutshell Summaries for each page.
