Beginning with launching into Space, and the ability to circumnavigate the Earth, this technology creates new Manoeuvre opportunities in terrestrial-based warfare (its Space Militarization Polar Strategy Phase). SPACE MILITARIZATION AND WEAPONIZATION STRATEGIESįIGURE 1: Illustrates a process of historically expanding concept of Manoeuvre in Space Warfare. The end of this paper looks at a Battle Orbit exhibiting a new type of linear Manoeuvre in Space Warfare. Parallel to the technology shift two polar strategies have largely operated represented by the Militarization, or Weaponization of Space (Harrison, 2021). Originally conceived in relation to creating a Space-based information infrastructure, the notion is equally germane to Space Warfare in relation to the possibilities of Manoeuvre. A driver has been, “Complexity Inversion” (Gould, 1978). The shift in Space technology has itself been gaining pace. Underpinning this historical-technological shift is a transitional-flip from:Ī transitional-flip from global strategy to solar system strategy, mirrors the expansion of the globalized economy into Space, and the setup of a solar system economy all of which is a product of the ability to build an interplanetary travelling Spacecraft. The next step – which is currently occurring – is the ability to achieve interplanetary travel. The Space Warfare Era begins with the ability to circumnavigate the Earth. The changing nature of Space Warfare Manoeuvre and the Post-WW2 Space Warfare Era are fundamentally tied to a series of radical technology shifts, that becomes more radical in relation to the ability to put a Spacecraft-Satellite into Space, and to move it from one point to another. This short exploratory paper will look at how Manoeuvre figures in Space Warfare.
