About this report
In modern defence planning, space-based capabilities have moved from a supporting role to a core element of military power projection. “Space support to operations integration” has emerged as a distinct operational priority under the broader objective of Space Security & Space Resilience , reflecting the need to fully weave space assets and services into NATO and EU deterrence and defence constructs.
The rationale for this line of effort stems from the recognition that secure access to satellites and their products is essential to Alliance operations across all domains .
