Comment: Dual Purpose Space Technologies: Opportunities and Challenges for Policy Making
This grant supports research on the strategic and operational implications of the eroding distinction between military and commercial space technologies. Ray Williamson and John Baker will examine trends in the development of dual-use space technologies; analyze the implications of the proliferation of these technologies for security in the Persian Gulf, Central Europe, and Southeast Asia; and develop policy recommendations on how best to manage the diffusion of these technologies. The final products will include a series of working papers, two seminars, a major conference, and final policy reports.
