Sunday, April 26, 2015

SWF Technical Advisor Brian Weeden was featured in a two-part 60 Minutes piece on space security and the increasingly contested nature of space. Part one of the piece focused on the U.S. military's increased reliance on space capabilities, how some of those same capabilities are used by everyone in our daily lives, and the vulnerability of those capabilities to attack. The second part focused on recent events, and featured Mr. Weeden's analysis of Chinese ASAT testing, why the U.S. military perceives it as a heightened threat, and why increased instability in space is a serious challenge.

The full episode can be seen on the CBS website.
