Aerospace Nation: Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
Tuesday Feb 15, 2022
The Mitchell Institute invites you to watch a discussion with Secretary of the Air Force, Frank Kendall, who expounds on his seven operational imperatives for the Department of the Air Force.
After decades focused on fighting terrorism, the Air Force and Space Force must be reconfigured to address a dramatically changed security environment. The threatening rise of China is of prime concern, while Russia continues to encroach on the interests of the United States and its allies. The course ahead requires clear lines of effort and a strong sense of urgency.

Nuclear Deterrence and Missile Defense Forum: Modernizing the U.S. Nuclear Triad
Tuesday Feb 01, 2022
Tuesday Feb 01, 2022
The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to a discussion with the RAND Corporation’s Lt Gen Frank Klotz, USAF (ret) and Dr. Alexandra Evans to discuss their recent report, Modernizing the U.S. Nuclear Triad, The Rationale for a New Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.
Retired Lt Gen Klotz and Dr Evans discuss with retired Lt Gen Deptula, Dean of the Mitchell Institute how the Air Force should more strongly and publicly message:
• That our adversaries have not been asleep for the last 30 years and, through nuclear investments and modernization programs, now pose a real strategic risk to U.S. security.
• That recapitalization of the ICBM force can no longer be deferred without sacrificing performance and incurring additional costs.
• That we need the new capabilities that GBSD will provide to secure the nation’s global interests and defend the homeland.

Maneuver Warfare in Space: The Strategic Mandate for Nuclear Propulsion
Friday Jan 14, 2022
Friday Jan 14, 2022
The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our rollout for our newest policy paper: Maneuver Warfare in Space: The Strategic Mandate for Nuclear Thermal Propulsion by Christopher Stone, Senior Fellow for Space Studies for the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence (MI-SPACE).
In an era where space is an increasingly contested domain, it is crucial to ensure satellites can maneuver to avoid threats and position themselves to best net mission effects. This demands new propulsion solutions. Panelists Dr. Ron Faibish, Senior Director of Strategic Development at General Atomics – Electromagnetic Systems Group; Dr. Micheal Leahy, Director of the Tactical Technology Office at DARPA; and Stone discuss why DOD must adopt a new force design that includes satellites with nuclear propulsion that are of capable of decisive defensive and offensive maneuver warfare operations in space.

The Backbone of JADC2: Satellite Communications for Information Age Warfare
Friday Jan 07, 2022
Friday Jan 07, 2022
The Mitchell Institute invites you to listen to our virtual rollout for our newest policy paper, The Backbone of JADC2: Satellite Communications for Information Age Warfare by Gen Kevin P. Chilton, USAF (Ret.), Mitchell Institute's Explorer Chair for Space Warfighting Studies and Lukas Autenried, Senior Analyst at the Mitchell Institute’s Spacepower Advantage Center of Excellence (MI-SPACE). Defense experts fundamentally agree that Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) will prove critical in future military operations. To put it simply, information and decision superiority will spell the difference between victory and defeat. Satellite communications will serve as the backbone for this vision. Gen Chilton and Autenried will be joined by Stephen Forbes, Blackjack program manager at DARPA, and Dr. David Voss, Director of the Spectrum Warfare Center of Excellence at the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC), to discuss this important topic. Blackjack is a joint DARPA/SSC/AFRL program that is helping pioneer next generation space constellations and SWAC is responsible for developing future force design guidance for the Space Force, including for its SATCOM enterprise.
