Space Situational Awareness remains a key priority for armed forces capable of operating above the Earth. Space is now extremely contested, congested and competitive as more and more countries and organisation gain access to space technology. However, high amounts of orbiting traffic is not the only threat; space weather, debris and ground based electronic and cyber threats could also have a massive impact on our operations by disrupting satellite activity and therefore military ability on the ground. These threats need to be fully understood before we can overcome them.

Therefore SMi is proud to announce that it will be hosting its 12th annual Military Space Situational Awareness conference which will return to London in early April to provide the best forum to discuss the key priorities that will enable nations to maintain a strong presence in Earth’s Orbit.
