Nowhere is this more evident than in the domain of space infrastructure—rapidly becoming the backbone of modern defense, communications, and intelligence systems, and indispensable for connecting land, sea, and air forces. For Europe, this shift introduces a set of new realities. While the strategy avoids spelling out detailed space‑related directives, its priorities leave little doubt about the consequences for European NATO partners.]]></description>
