Description: This course discusses 100 different unclassified techniques invented by the author to attack and neutralize satellites/space systems without generating any subsequent debris that might damage other satellite systems. Includes many cyber attack means, spoofing, ground controller attacks, clever space mines, attacks on the internal components of the satellite bus, combined arms attacks, hidden attacks, and attacks employing new and unique technologies. This lecture also summarizes other, debris-causing, attacks on satellites for completeness sake.

Who Should Attend: Anyone with an interest in military space operations, covert operations, and unacknowledged “shadow wars” in space. Technical expertise in this critical mission area is not required to understand the principles of space attacks discussed in this lecture.

Instructor

Paul Szymanski has over 50 years’ experience in space war policy, doctrine strategy, simulations, surveillance, survivability, threat assessment, long-range strategic planning, & command and control. He has published/lectured over 200 times in Aviation Week, the United States, Canada, Britain, Scotland, Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Poland, Estonia, Ukraine, India, Cambodia, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus, Malaysia, and Japan. He has helped the United States fight space wars over this time period (11 space wars and "incidents") and participated in 12 different space weapons programs and 5 different satellite inspector programs. He previously possessed 86 different security clearances in deeply covert space operations, but these all timed out over a decade ago when he retired. Many think he is the top world expert on this subject and the first original space mercenary, much like Bobs Fett, since he has helped 24 allied countries around the world fight space wars. Since he skipped both his senior years of high school and college, and graduated with three college degrees at the age of 22, and soon began working at the Pentagon for the Secretary of the Air Force, he was always the youngest person in the room on these sensitive programs for many years. Subsequently, at age 74, he is now one of the last of the original space warfighters from the 1970’s-1980’s.
