Space warfare vulnerabilities mirror maritime chokepoints, experts warn

The conflict with Iran highlights how low-cost drones and missiles can give weaker adversaries asymmetric advantages, impacting future warfare. This lesson extends to space, where the pursuit of efficiency in satellite architecture could create critical vulnerabilities. Future chokepoints in space may not be physical satellites but rather dependencies on single ground architectures, cloud environments, software stacks, or supply chains, potentially exploitable through cyberattacks rather than kinetic means.
