STRATEGIC VANGUARD

The next major war may not begin with missiles striking cities or ships attacking fleets. It could begin thousands of kilometres above Earth — when military satellites become targets. Modern warfare depends heavily on satellites for communications, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, navigation, missile warning, targeting and battlefield coordination. Disable those satellites, and an entire military force can become slower, less accurate and increasingly blind. In this Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive, we examine the emerging battlefield of space warfare and the growing threat to military satellites. We explore how satellites can be attacked through anti-satellite weapons, electronic warfare, jamming, spoofing, cyberattacks and other counter-space capabilities. We also examine the strategic competition between the United States, China, Russia and India, and why the destruction of satellites could have consequences far beyond orbit. But there is an even bigger danger. A large-scale conflict in space could generate enormous quantities of orbital debris, potentially threatening the satellites that modern civilization increasingly depends upon. At the same time, militaries are developing more resilient satellite architectures, distributed constellations and new methods of operating in a contested space environment. The central question is no longer whether space is becoming militarized. It already is. The question is: What happens when satellites become targets? And when the first satellite suddenly stops responding, will that be the beginning of the next war?

The next war may not begin with missiles or gunfire. It may begin with an invisible struggle for control of the electromagnetic spectrum. Radar, communications, satellite navigation, data links and networked weapons all depend on electromagnetic signals—and electronic warfare can disrupt, deceive, protect or exploit them. In this Strategic Vanguard Deep Dive, we examine why electronic warfare is becoming a central element of modern warfare, how jamming and deception work, why drones and naval warfare are increasingly dependent on electromagnetic dominance, how electronic warfare intersects with cyber warfare and AI, and why spectrum control could influence the outcome of future conflicts.

The Arsenal Ship was once envisioned as a radical answer to a simple question: what if a warship carried an enormous arsenal of long-range missiles and acted as a floating weapons magazine for the fleet? The concept disappeared. But the strategic problem never did. Today, long-range precision missiles, unmanned systems, distributed naval operations, networked sensors and increasingly contested seas are forcing navies to rethink how firepower should be concentrated, distributed and delivered. Could the Arsenal Ship concept be making a comeback? In this Strategic Vanguard longform, we examine the origins of the Arsenal Ship idea, why the original concept failed to enter service, and why its underlying logic is becoming relevant again in an era of missile warfare. We explore: • What the original Arsenal Ship concept was designed to achieve • Why the U.S. Navy abandoned the program • The growing importance of distributed missile firepower • How modern destroyers, submarines, unmanned vessels and land-based systems are changing naval warfare • Whether a modern Arsenal Ship would actually make strategic sense • The vulnerability of concentrating hundreds of missiles on a single platform • How networking and remote targeting could transform the concept • What the return of the Arsenal Ship could mean for future naval warfare The Arsenal Ship was never simply about building a bigger missile carrier. It was about changing the relationship between sensors, shooters and firepower. And that idea may be more important today than ever.

Is China preparing to blockade Taiwan? Strategic Vanguard examines PLA exercises, China Coast Guard operations, Taiwan’s vulnerabilities, and how a blockade could trigger a wider war.
