The book's structure and main arguments

This book, which addresses the military's and industry's responses to the challenges of future warfare, is largely divided into three parts. Part 1, "The Challenges of Future Warfare," covers the theoretical implications of the concept of future warfare, which refers to the way wars will be waged in the future, as well as the political, military, security, and technological backgrounds, and the challenges posed by the rise of future warfare.
Specifically, each chapter traces and forecasts the development of future warfare through discussions on the background of the rise of future warfare and its complex geopolitical implications, the emergence of future military and security deterrence strategies surrounding space, and the development of space technology as a countermeasure to future information warfare, and views space as a strategic stage for this development.

Chapter 2, “The Complex Geopolitics of the Changing Environment of Future Warfare: Implications for the Aerospace Industry” (Kim Sang-bae), examines the changing environments in science and technology, military security, and international politics that are forming the backdrop for the rise of future warfare from the perspective of complex geopolitical transformation.


Chapter 3, “Space as a Battlefield and Future Deterrence Strategy: Changes in US-China Security Strategy and Korea” (Yang-gyu Kim), explains that the essence of the US-China strategic competition in the military security dimension, which is currently manifested as a confrontation between “Integrated Deterrence” and “Intelligent Warfare,” is a paradigm shift from “deterrence by punishment,” which relied on the powerful retaliatory capabilities of nuclear weapons during the Cold War, to “deterrence by denial,” which is based on new technologies in the areas of artificial intelligence and long-range reconnaissance and strike.


Chapter 4, “Future Information Warfare and Space Satellites” (Song Tae-eun), examines the current significance of space as an emerging security space, emphasizing its characteristics as a strategic space where information operations are directly conducted by supporting military activities on land and sea and connecting with cyberspace. It also predicts that space will emerge as a major battlefield with an even greater role in future information warfare.


Part 2, “Future Warfare and the Military’s Response,” covers the Army, Navy, and Air Force’s understanding of the emergence of future warfare as a new paradigm for waging war, as well as the response plans of each military branch.
Each chapter analyzes the ROK military's response to the introduction of the Multi-Domain Operation (MDO) concept due to the spatiotemporal expansion of the operational domain, the resulting overlap of the existing air, ground, and sea operational domains, and the expansion of the operational domain into space, from the perspectives of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, focusing on key tasks such as expanding interoperability between military branches, fostering maritime-based space operational capabilities, and enhancing operational capabilities in the air-space intersection.

Chapter 5, “The Emergence of Multidomain Operations and the Transformation of the Future Battlefield” (Seong Gi-eun), points out that the concept of multidomain operations, which originated in the U.S. Army in the mid-2010s, was part of the evolution of military strategy in response to the changes in the future battlefield brought about by the advancement of advanced science and technology.
In particular, changes in the future battlefield are calling for the expansion of operational areas into space and cyberspace, the overlapping of operational areas between military branches, and the expansion of deep-space areas between friendly and enemy forces in the operational guidelines centered on close-area areas.


Chapter 6, “Future Maritime Space Power and Multi-Domain Operations” (Kyunghan Lim), examines maritime-based space power and multi-domain operations in areas ranging from the ocean, including underwater, to outer space, in the context of future warfare specialized in the maritime field.


Chapter 7, “Future Warfare Outlook and the Development Direction of the ROK Air Force in the Air-Space Intersection” (by Eom Jeong-sik), argues that the ROK Air Force must utilize the air-space intersection to secure and sustain air superiority in future battlefields that may occur on the Korean Peninsula.
This is because the use of this cross-domain can not only increase the effectiveness and efficiency of air operations, but also achieve 'cross-domain connectivity, access, and access denial.'

Part 3, “Future Warfare and the Aerospace Industry’s Response,” discusses the aerospace industry’s response to the rise of future warfare presented in Chapter 1, across governments and the private sector in major countries around the world, including Korea.
Each chapter examines the challenges of future warfare, the military's response, and the various aspects of the aerospace industry's resulting responses, focusing on topics such as the development and competition in the space industries of the United States and China, the recent space military strategies of Russia and India, technological competition in the aerospace industry among the world's major countries, and cooperation between the government and the private sector to strengthen the Korean aerospace industry.

Chapter 8, “The US-China Space Competition in the Era of the Militarization and Commercialization of Space” (by Seung-ju Lee), analyzes the connection between China’s “space rise,” which has become visible since 2015, and the current US-China strategic competition, as well as its impact on the US’s hegemonic position in space.
He points out that the structural factor of strategic competition between the US and China served as an impetus for the Xi Jinping government of China to intensively foster the space industry as a new field of the "Chinese Dream" at the national strategic level.


Chapter 9, “Space Military Strategies of Major Powers: Russia and India” (Yoon Min-woo), examines the recent space military strategies of Russia and India, which are in the second tier in terms of space military power, and draws implications for South Korea’s space military strategy from them.
The author points out that Russia and India are space military powers that are ahead of South Korea, making them suitable real-world examples for South Korea to benchmark as models for its space military development.

Chapter 10, “Future Warfare Technology Competition in the Aerospace Industry” (Hong Seok-hoon), examines the international landscape of space science and technology competition, driven by the changing nature of warfare in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the emergence of space as a future battlefield. It also analyzes the current state of Korean science and technology development and key challenges related to this.


Chapter 11, “Directions for Korean Public-Private Cooperation to Strengthen the Future Space Industry” (Jeong-Hyeon Yoon), captures the important commonality that, as the current space industry enters a new leap forward, dubbed the “New Space” era, discussions are actively underway among major countries on new public-private cooperation that will lead changes in the landscape of the space industry.
The author argues that a more careful and detailed examination is needed to determine whether the New Space discourse is also valid for latecomers to space development like Korea.
