There’s only a sliver of the S-band left for key systems like Aegis and AWACS. This is the worst time to auction it off. China isn’t doing this, even as it races to build out 5G. We need to double down on actually competing, not on rent-seeking:

Will Russia make nuclear threats in response to Ukraine's Operation Spider's Web? CSIS Missile Defense and CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues experts discuss: csis.org/analysis/ukrai…

Wrote a commentary on some of the options for finding Golden Dome funding and how the most expansive visions of the architecture also create the most challenging sets of trade-offs

Following the recent drone strikes on Russia, the U.S. is reminded that the protection of geographic depth only extends so far. CSIS Missile Defense explores the future of drone warfare and more. Read more here: cs.is/4kQn01a

ICYMI: CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues, CSIS Missile Defense, and CSIS Aerospace Security experts discussed the Golden Dome project, its implications for U.S. allies and partners, and ingredients for success on an ambitious timeline. Watch the event on demand: csis.org/events/america…

"Suppressing enemy air forces no longer assures that skies will be safe; there is now an 'air littoral'—a domain of lower-altitude, lower-end drone threats—that must be secured. The June 1 attack highlights an ongoing revolution in asymmetric warfare by air."

“If that incoming threat missile had been real, it would have been small comfort to U.S. citizens to receive the text message slightly sooner thanks to boosted 5G, if it meant that U.S. missile defense radars were blinded and unable to do something about it.”

"Auctioning off the low-3 S-band spectrum for commercial use would risk jamming military radars and degrading missile defense capability," warns CSIS Missile Defense expert Tom Karako. Read more on spectrum use for national security: csis.org/analysis/why-a…

On Thursday at 8:30 a.m., CSIS Missile Defense welcomes Sen. Maria Cantwell, Ranking Member of Senate Commerce, Science, Transportation Committee, to discuss why protecting America's electromagnetic spectrum is critical to U.S. national security. Register to watch: csis.org/events/protect…

On Thursday, we're having Senator Cantwell Sen. Maria Cantwell for a fireside with Tom Karako to talk all things spectrum. Tune in!

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

TOMORROW: There's a spectrum auction coming up, and key bands for missile defense, like the S-band, are at stake. We'll be reviewing implications with Senator Cantwell Sen. Maria Cantwell and Tom Karako Tom Karako. Tune in!

Seems relevant to the discussion of whether telecom spectrum expansion should trump national security needs from missile defense to border security, & on whom the onus should lie for innovative ways to use spectrum differently. Tune in tomorrow.

All Aegis destroyers' main radars are S-band. The E-3 AWACS radar is S-band. The Army's counterfire radar is S-band. The Long Range Discrimination Radar (LRDR), handed over to MDA this year, is S-band. Tomorrow, we'll talk about whether the S-band is for sale.
