Dual-use space assets and their impact on space security 🛰 Outer Space Security Conference 2021

States have come to rely on dual-capable satellites to serve both civilian functions and military needs. This trend has increased with the emergence of commercial actors. Furthermore, it is often difficult to discern whether the military capabilities of a satellite are for defensive or offensive purposes. This ambiguity gives space actors considerable freedom of action, but it also increases the potential of threats to their interests and technology in space. This panel explored the implications of dual-use technologies for space security, as well as the role played by intent and behaviour in the use of these assets.
