(Army, Navy, Airforce, Marines). Simplemente porque el principal dominio en el cual deber\u00e1 operar, es el Espacio exterior. Y si bien hasta ahora los pa\u00edses hab\u00edan acordado que ese dominio estar\u00eda \u201clibre de armas\u201d y conflicto militar, hay muchas se\u00f1ales de que las potencias desarrollan programas para incorporar capacidades, que les permitan afrontar un conflicto en el espacio. Armas anti-sat\u00e9lites, L\u00e1ser y armas de Pulso Electromargn\u00e9tico (EMP), as\u00ed como Misiles Hipers\u00f3nicos, son algunos de los sistemas que podr\u00edan \u201cquebrar\u201d ese estado de paz existente hasta ahora. La pregunta es \u00bfC\u00f3mo se debe capacitar a las organizaciones para una guerra en este \u00e1mbito tan particular?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p class=\"drop-cap\">Unlike its earthbound sister services, the Space Force can\u2019t simply head out to some terrestrial exercise range to train its troops, develop new tactics, or peer into the future of weaponry. Nor do Space Force units have a natural deploy-and-rebuild cycle that affords time for advanced training. So the two-year-old service is creating a new force-generation concept and modeling and simulation environments, a top Space Force leader said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether it&#8217;s missile warning or precision, navigation, timing, military satellite communications\u2014 all of that doesn&#8217;t stop. None of it stops,\u201d Lt. Gen. Chance Saltzman, the Space Force\u2019s deputy chief of space operations, nuclear, and cyber, said Monday. \u201cSo how do I figure out how to organize and present the forces where it preserves some residual capacity to do the advanced training?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The answer, Saltzman told a virtual audience at a Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies event, is a new force-generation model that uses rotations to create time for Guardians to be away from the immediate duties, which has become more practically achievable now that the Force has reached\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcemag.com\/article\/2021-usaf-ussf-almanac-people\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8,400 active duty troops<\/a>, as of August.<\/p>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"l-content-row l-relative\">\n<div class=\"content-body wysiwyg l-content-well wysiwyg-article\">\n<p>This model will also allow Guardians to get much-needed practice for the first war in space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur human capital was not designed for a contested environment,\u201d Saltzman said.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, what do Guardians need to be trained to do? Much of it has to do with protecting satellites, either from decades-old threats like electromagnetic interference or from newer weapons like lasers. You have to know what the satellite has on it and what the trade-offs are if you move it to dodge incoming fire, if you reposition it to a new orbit, or if it has some other defensive tool onboard.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ability to mitigate a directed energy threat, if you will, whether it&#8217;s [radio frequency] energy, lasers, etc.\u2014sometimes that&#8217;s maneuver, sometimes that\u2019s repositioning, and sometimes that\u2019s subsystem operation on the satellite itself to try to mitigate those capabilities,\u201d Saltzman said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l-content-container-unconstrained js-article-advert-injected injected-module sticky fixed\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"l-content-row l-relative\">\n<div class=\"l-content-left-rail\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"content-body wysiwyg l-content-well content-body-last\">\n<p>Military officials have revealed very little about the sorts of defensive and offensive capabilities they want to put on future spacecraft, aside from an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenseone.com\/technology\/2019\/02\/pentagon-wants-satellites-can-dodge-incoming-fire\/155088\/\">ability to maneuver<\/a>. That\u2019s partly because they don\u2019t yet know what tactics will be most effective given what they already have. There are, Saltzman said, \u201ca number of tactics that we&#8217;ve currently developed and, I would project, there are a lot we have yet to develop. A lot of times what we do is we may have a good idea, but since we haven&#8217;t tested it on any kind of range capability, we haven&#8217;t tested against a thinking adversary, I&#8217;m not sure whether it would qualify as a tactic or a good idea at this point. And so as we build out the modeling and sim capability to really put our tactics to the test, then we&#8217;ll be able to lean more on the operators to employ those tactics should they need to mitigate a threat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once that training environment exists, Guardians can begin training for future space fights. That, in turn, will allow Space Force leaders to figure out what satellites need to survive space conflict.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s very similar to the way the Air Force figures out what new capabilties it needs, \u00a0Saltzman said. The cycle starts with a threat assessment from the intelligence community, looking at how an adversary\u2019s capabilities stack up against what the United States has deployed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce those vulnerabilities are identified, the weapons and tactics community goes through a process where it determines: Are there tactics that we can employ that would mitigate or cover the gap?\u201d he said. \u201cFor all the crews executing those weapons systems, periodically they&#8217;ll discover that \u2018hey, there are no tactics that can really counter this capability. What we need is a new piece of hardware or a new pod or a new receiver.\u2019 Then the weapons and tactics process documents that shortfall in terms of some basic requirements. And then those requirements are fed back in through the acquisition community to start to develop the hardware or software solution that the operators need. And so it&#8217;s that cycle that we in the Air Force called weapons and tactics, which informs the acquisition as well as the training community to prepare the operators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the Space Force doesn\u2019t have that process in place yet, in part because they need the training environment to test what tactics work and which ones need a new special hardware or software boost. \u201cWe don&#8217;t really have that complete cycle accounted for because we don&#8217;t have the advanced training requirements documented. So that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m trying to do is then build that test and training infrastructure that allows them to validate and the range infrastructure that will provide those capabilities and that feedback through the loop,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Fuente:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defenseone.com\/technology\/2021\/11\/space-force-has-plan-training-its-troops-now-it-needs-figure-out-what-they-need-learn-do\/187146\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>https:\/\/www.defenseone.com<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creada hace solo 2 a\u00f1os, la 5ta Rama de las FFAA de EUA, denominada\u00a0US Space Force, no puede adiestrarse de la misma manera que sus&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,35,28],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9104"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9104"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9104\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9106,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9104\/revisions\/9106"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
