AE200 Seminar Series | Laying Out the National Space Security Enterprise
Dr. Brandon "BT" Cesul
Technical Fellow & Principal Space Systems Engineer
KBR
Abstract:
Much discussion has been started on the potential of conflicts in space by policy makers, pundits, and military experts in the United States and around the globe. But what's the history of "space warfare"? What really is driving some of the research and development needs - and how much of that motivation is being caused by red herrings? Dr. Cesul has worked for the US Government and private industry as a leading expert on the future of space warfare and will present his perspectives on these issues (without complicated math!) ina fun, informative, interactive presentation with plenty of time for audience back and forth discussions.
