Space Fundamentals for the War Fighter, 1994 May 31

 File — Box: 13-1, Folder: 6
Identifier: RG-37
Scope and Contents

A paper submitted to the faculty of the Naval War College in partial satisfaction of the requirement of the Department of Operations by William G. Clapp, Ed.D, Major, Utah National Guard that was later updated for publication as a Strategic Research Department occasional paper because of the timeliness of the topic and the belief that it deserved wider circulation.

In this paper, Clapp provided an overview of the space environment and its assets in order to understand their capabilities. Clapp argued that space assets are vital elements that influence both peacetime and wartime missions at all three levels of military activity: strategic, operational, and tactical. This paper provided insights concerning a few of the limitations and capabilities of U.S. space assets and should help the war fighter understand the environment in which the battle for aerospace superiority must be fought and won.

Space Policy For Laser Imaging of Foreign Spacecraft, 1992 Mar 13

 File — Box: 6-40, Folder: 4
Identifier: RG-37
Scope and Contents Student research paper by Major Paul S. Idell, USAF in satisfaction of the requirements for the Advanced Research Program elective. In this paper, Idell considered the application of laser imaging techniques from observatories on the ground, at sea, or in the air. Also found within this folder are Jarrett's initial application to the Advanced Research Program, proposed research prospectus, resume, and a report documentation page.Executive Summary: Current U.S. Department of Defense policy prohibits the laser illumination of any spacecraft without explicit permission to do so from the satellite's owner. This policy places limitations on the ability to evaluate emerging laser imaging technologies for routine surveillance and imaging of foreign spacecraft. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate satellite imaging regimes which admit the application of ground-based laser imaging. To do this a review of pertinent aspects of space law, U.S. policies, and current DoD procedures for controlling the emission of laser energy into space is conducted. Next the laser illumination requirements for four proposed satellite imaging techniques are reviewed, and their threat to spacecraft components is assessed. From this assessment, it is concluded that while these laser imaging techniques present an in-band damage threat to many earth-viewing optical sensors, they do not threaten the normal operation of other, non-optical...

The U.S. Commercial Space Launch Program and the Department of Defense Dilemma, 1994 Aug 18

 File — Box: 13-1, Folder: 15
Identifier: RG-37
Scope and Contents

A longer version of this paper was originally submitted to the faculty of the Naval War College in partial satisfaction of the requirements for an Advanced Research Program elective William G. Clapp, Ed.D, Major, Utah National Guard that was later updated for publication as a Strategic Research Department occasional paper. In this paper, Clapp described how the U.S. space launch program no longer dominated the world and was instead playing catch-up with the world's first commercial launch company, Arianespace. He suggested that a healthy U.S. space launch program could provide considerable economic advantages and is essential to assure continued low-cost military access to space, but that the space policy in the 1990s prohibited development of new launch vehicles and limited the Department of Defense to only upgrades of existing launch vehicles as well as a declining DoD budget. He also identified Arianespace's advantages and offered low-cost recommendations for countering them that would help the U.S. once again dominate the world commercial launch market and ensure affordable military access to space.
