Emerging Military Weapon Technologies in Outer Space | SETA Emerging Military Technologies Series .3.

The multipolar and multiplayer system in space, which is a reflection of the international system, entails certain risks and opportunities. That some countries take the lead in the area of commercial space, together with national security space missions, their settlement of planetary objects by establishing permanent bases in deep space, their privatization of resources and creation of space colonies stand to consolidate their respective positions in international politics. Accordingly, outer space and the related studies emerged once again as a strategically important domain in a military sense among countries with access to space. In this regard, space technologies and the ability to access space are viewed as a kind of force multiplier in the military terminology. Indeed, the ability to defend oneself from one’s enemies, the development of new space weapons and access to all areas for intelligence purposes serve to further strengthen any given nation’s army. This report takes into consideration the global trends to provide a comprehensive analysis of the above-mentioned points.
