Faced today with a broader spectrum of challenges than the bipolar world of the Cold War, the importance of providing national leaders with non-nuclear strike options that would have a broader applicability and deterrent effect on potential adversaries is increasing. A new strategy that employs space- and cyberspace-based systems to provide continuous surveillance, space situational awareness and superiority, and information and "global utilities" blockade, followed by precision strike from space, if warranted, is presented. This paper advocates the development and demonstration of key enabling systems that would lead to a flexible, CONUS-based, force structure capable of effectively deterring regional aggression without reliance on nuclear weapons.
