Space defense systems and Harry Potter have more in common than you might think. Whether flying out of earth’s orbit or running through bricks to reach Platform 9 ¾, special circumstances require special countermeasures. While the United States is increasingly dependent on space systems, its ability to effectively deter attacks in space is in doubt.
What is the current state of space and space defenses today? What can Harry Potter’s classic battle between good and evil teach us when considering defensive counterspace operations? How can the United States maintain a distinct strategic advantage over the “dark arts” in space?
Kaitlyn Johnson, Deputy Director and Fellow for the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) walks us through current space threats, the future of space defenses and what policies can be integrated for a safer world (and beyond). And as Harry Potter would say, “mischief managed.”
