DATE: November 6, 2025 from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm ET

Charles Galbreath, Senior Resident Fellow for Spacepower Studies at the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence will discuss his latest paper, “A Broader Look at Dynamic Space Operations: Imposing Multi-Dimensional Dilemmas on Adversaries”

The U.S. military space architecture is at an inflection point. The old way of operating systems with static missions and predictable orbits must transform to one defined by dynamic space operations (DSO)–the ability to frequently and rapidly change parameters. Through alternative methods of satellite delivery, operations, and sustainment, the Space Force can increase the resilience and effectiveness of America’s space architecture. This will also accelerate the adoption of time-proven principles of warfare that will maintain the initiative for U.S. forces and create compounding problems for potential adversaries–ultimately contributing to the deterrent posture of the United States.
