  • Abstract
    This essay1 discusses the importance of developing space superiority campaigns for future warfare success. It provides strategists with a coercion theory-based conceptual framework to provide a broader range of coercion mechanisms than has traditionally been offered. To selectively neutralize space systems, space strategists must move beyond the Cold War´s spacecraft destruction-only focus and employ space superiority campaigns composed of a variety of active defensive and offensive counterspace operations mechanisms. The author encourages space strategists to develop space superiority campaigns to help America coerce future adversaries
