This research project discusses how an adversary's exploitation, technological developments, employment and engagement of laser antisatellite (ASAT) weapons may negatively impact the US ability to use space power to enhance terrestrial warfighting capability. After describing some exploitable, attractive laser weapon characteristics, the paper explains some laser lethality factors relating several key laser weapon parameters, such as range, pointing jitter, atmospheric attenuation, dwell time and target coupling. How ground-, air- and space-based lasers can theoretically be employed against sp...
