Defence Space 2022 is the leading platform for all those who seek to influence emerging thinking on the UK’s military space capability, planning, and development\. Bringing together senior UK Government officials, international military commanders, industry, academics, and leaders in disruptive technologies from the UK and overseas, Defence Space 2022 will also explore how current \geopolitical events\ are driving change in radical and fundamental ways and how international partners, allies and industry must all work together to manage the operationalisation of space\. \Context – rebooting space thinking\: The war in Ukraine is a crisis that continues to challenge security and order across Europe – and across the globe\. This is no longer an exercise – but years of training and preparation have enabled allies and partners to move at the speed of relevance today, drawing on the very integration outlined in the Integrated Review, the National Space Strategy \(NSS\) and the Defence Space Strategy \(DSS\)\.  But what comes next?  Sixty years of MoD space operations delivering space domain awareness and satellite operations that enhance military operations combined with a UK space industry that now contributes £16 billion a year to GDP puts the UK at the heart of the developments arising from this crisis\. Information has been re\-weaponised and everyday data including open\-source imagery are now affecting live combat outcomes\. The impact on commercial space companies is stark: they have moved from providing information services to a broad utility or user segment to direct action in support of homeland defence; supporting the hearts and minds of citizens; reducing the fog of war and making offensive action attributable to a global and empathetic audience\. \THEMES FOR THIS YEAR’S CONFERENCE\ \The Impact of the Operationalisation of Space\ The conference will explore the importance of the recent commercial contributions witnessed in Ukraine and how space\-based commercial capabilities are proving game\-changing in the current crisis\. Defence retains a requirement for shared understanding, how will Defence and government quickly integrate commercial capabilities into multi\-domain operations? \The Evolution of UK Space Command\ The conference will explore how, a year on from its formation, UK Space Command is leading space activity across the MoD in direct support of military operations, including multi\-domain integration, command and control, capability management, workforce generation and the delivery of operational effect\. \ Delivering ‘Protect and Defend’: How is Defence implementing the National Space Strategy?\ The conference will explore how the MoD is delivering the ‘Protect and Defend’ goal within the National Space Strategy via cross\-Government collaboration, international partnerships and active engagement with industry, academia, and the wider commercial UK space sector\. The Defence Space Strategy sets out the MoD’s approach to each of these key elements, as well as its capability priorities, strategic themes, cross\-cutting principles and ten\-year funding plan\. \Delivering Science \& Technology to Unlock Next Generation Capability for the Ministry of Defence \ The conference will explore challenges that the MOD encounters in space, and raise the importance of academia and the wider commercial space sector in helping address these to promote UK prosperity\. Past collaborative S\&T success stores and future engagement opportunities will be presented to the audience, along with fresh perspectives on technology that could shape the future of the space domain\. Sessions will be structured as disruptive debates, enabling conversations between speakers from a range of backgrounds to present their outlooks\. The audience will have Q\&A opportunities to challenge ideas and offer their own standpoint on the big questions under discussion\. \International Collaboration on Space\ The conference will explore how the MoD is strengthening its engagement with allies and partners to support the UK’s ambition in the domain, via multinational collaborations such as NATO, the Five Eyes partnership and the Combined Space Operations Initiative, as well as bilateral agreements with individual nations\. \Keynote speakers include: Minister of State for Defence Procurement, Mr Jeremy Quin MP; Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston; \\Commander US Space Command, General James H\. Dickinson; \\Chief Scientific Adviser for National Security, Mr Alex van Someren; Commander UK Space Command, Air Vice\-Marshal Paul Godfrey; Director of Development, Concepts and Doctrine Centre, Major General Darrell Amison; Air Marshal Richard Knighton, Deputy Chief of Staff \(Military Capability\); Director Space, MOD Space Directorate, Air Vice\-Marshal Harv Smyth and Mr Vlodymyr Usov, Former Chairman of the State Space Agency of Ukraine\. \ Full programme details and speakers \ here\ \
