The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Orbital Vigilance: The Need for Enhanced Space-Based Missile Warning and Tracking by Christopher Stone, Senior Fellow for Space Studies, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies.
For decades, U.S. space-based missile warning and ground based radars have provided our nation’s leaders with early warning of missile threats at home and abroad. Now that our adversaries have begun to field and use hypersonic and maneuvering missile systems, it is crucial to ensure we can detect an track these threats. This demands new solutions.

Cruz, Commander of Delta 4, the Missile Warning command of the U.S. Space Force; Dr. Davin Swanson, Chief Engineer in Space and C2 Systems, Raytheon Intelligence and Space; and Christopher Stone will discuss why DOD must adopt a new force design that multiple satellites across different orbital regimes to maintain a continuous chain of custody of these new threats, and cue missile defenses.

The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Building Alliances and Competing with China: The Imperative for UAV Export Reforms by Heather Penney, Senior Resident Fellow, The Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Paul Scharre, Vice President and Director of Studies, Center for a New American Security joins the discussion.
The era of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) proliferation is here, yet the United States’ policy largely blocks exporting these capabilities to allies and partners. As a result, nations important to U.S. interests are increasingly turning to other countries for their RPA requirements – often, China – and the U.S. risks falling behind as global leaders in this capability. The net result is that the U.S. could see key relationships weaken and influence wane in the very regions it seeks to promote stability and core American interests. Operations in Ukraine, which see Turkish TB2 UAVs helping turn the tide, not more capable U.S.-built systems, stands as the most illustrative recent example.
It is time for the administration to update U.S. RPA export policies. This can be done in ways that affirm the U.S. commitment to non-proliferation goals, regional stability, and other international norms.

It formulates and selects big-leap technology solutions that gain warfighting capabilities needed for the Air Force’s future force design. This transformational initiative is backed by the Department of the Air Force with a significant share of the AFRL budget. If you want to understand how the Air Force is pursuing transformation that rapidly impacts the warfighter, you need to tune into this discussion.
