Q: How would some of the new capabilities that Boots highlights in a report such as laser communications help make our space operations more resilient to acts of aggression from our adversaries?
Leonard emphasizes the critical nature of the link between terrestrial architecture and spacecraft operations, asserting it will enhance resilience and operational capabilities.
Charting a Path to Space Superiority: The Cross-Domain Imperative
Q: Do you think this is because they may be a step ahead of us in already looking at space through a multi-domain lens?
Leonard agrees that adversaries like China have adapted a multi-domain perspective in their strategy and are possibly ahead of the US due to their integrated approach.

Q: Thoughts on the issues and recommendations that Boots just outlined when it comes to multi-domain operations?
Tank highlights the challenges ahead in implementing Boots' recommendations and stresses the importance of addressing them for national security.
