U.S. Space Domain Awareness: A Lagging Behind

Space has become a critical domain for military operations, communication, and surveillance.

Space Domain Awareness (SDA) is the ability to monitor, track, and identify objects in Earth orbit.

The number of objects in space is increasing rapidly, making it difficult to track potential threats.

The U.S. military's current SDA capabilities are outdated and unable to keep up with the evolving threats.

Artificial intelligence can help automate the process of tracking and analyzing space objects.

International cooperation is essential to address the challenges of space domain awareness.

The future of space is bright, but the U.S. must invest in SDA to maintain its competitive edge.

It's time to prioritize space domain awareness and ensure the safety and security of our nation.
