Where Should Weapons Release Authority Reside For Space Weapons by Charles T Anderson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The U. S. has a huge reliance on space. This reliance, combined with a leaner more rapidly deployable military, makes space weapons an appealing prospect. Space weapons technology continues to advance, and as improvements occur, the weaponization of space becomes more of a reality. This thesis answers the question of where should weapons release authority reside for space weapons. The results of the research was that this authority should reside with the joint forces commander, in all but very select instances regarding the targeting and destruction of space assets belonging to neutral countries or multinational consortium. In those cases, the authority remains with the president due the potential negative impacts to America. | Where Should Weapons Release Authority Reside For Space Weapons by Charles T Anderson, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
