What’s new: The Secure World Foundation and the Center for Strategic and International Studies will discuss their annual reports on threats to space assets.

Why it’s important:

  • Once thought a safe haven for our most important assets, space is now a warfighting domain.
  • The U.S. has more satellites, by far, than any other country.
  • The U.S. relies on space-based assets more than any other country.

What else to know: We reported on SWF’s recent report, but have not seen the one from CSIS.

Please join the Secure World Foundation (SWF) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) Aerospace Security Project on Friday, April 25 at 2:00pm ET for a discussion about the latest counterspace weapons trends. The conversation will follow the publication of annual counterspace reports by each organization: SWF’s Global Counterspace Capabilities Report and the CSIS’s Space Threat Assessment 2025 . The virtual event will have two parts and be live-streamed from this webpage.

The first part is a panel discussion moderated by Kari A. Bingen, Director of the Aerospace Security Project, which will feature Clayton Swope, Deputy Director of the Aerospace Security Project; Victoria Samson, Chief Director of Space Security and Stability at SWF; and Dr. Laetitia Cesari, Researcher and Legal Practitioner.

What Can YOU Do? How Can YOU Help?

PNT is the quiet backbone of everything but too many leaders still don’t see the risk.

But you do. You understand the systems, the dependencies, the failure chains. That insight is rare — and it’s exactly what your country needs right now. Contact your government leaders and industry decision-makers and tell them resilient PNT isn’t a feature — it’s the foundation everything else depends on.
