Dynamic Space Operations: A Requirement for Joint Operations

 Space Systems Command recently revealed details from its Parallax Rising 2.2 tabletop exercise, which explored the emerging requirement to maneuver satellites in space. The exercise focused on developing solutions for “Dynamic Space Operations,” an operational concept advocated by retired Lieutenant General John E. Shaw. While the capacity to maneuver is not new as a warfighting concept, Parallax Rising 2.2 reflects how the Space Force is adjusting its operations approach based on an increasingly congested and hostile space domain.

In this episode of "The Elara Edge: Expert Insights on Space Security," Major General (Ret.) Brook Leonard, partner at Elara Nova: The Space Consultancy, discusses the significance of the dynamic space operations requirement for Joint Force operations and how the recent Parallax Rising 2.2 tabletop exercise is an initial step in acquiring broader DSO capability.
