Abstract

As humanity's reliance on space-based assets intensifies, space warfare has emerged as a critical frontier in modern military strategy. "Space Warfare: Emerging Challenges and Strategies" explores the evolving landscape of conflict in space, focusing on the unique challenges and strategic considerations that define this domain. This paper examines the rapid advancement of space technologies, the increasing militarization of space, and the potential threats posed by both state and non-state actors. Key issues addressed include the development of anti-satellite weapons, the vulnerability of space infrastructure, and the legal and ethical implications of space militarization. The paper also evaluates current and proposed strategies for mitigating risks and enhancing security, including international cooperation, defensive measures, and technological innovation. By analyzing these aspects, the paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of space warfare and offer insights into future trends and strategic responses.
