The purpose of this study is to examine the concept of prompt space-based
global strikes. In order to contribute to the debate about its potential
benefits and problems, this study addresses the effects of cultural mindsets and
forces. It examines how prompt precision strikes through space could
provide an important set of options in future crises that are beyond the
capabilities of current U.S. military forces. Finally, this study raises
questions that the U.S. Air Force must consider about the future of aerospace
missions.
