Discusses the early evolution of international outer space law and the United States Air Force&#8217;s contribution to it. Describes the Air Force&#8217;s ad hoc approach and its efforts to have this approach adopted by the United States and the international community.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/history.pdf\">A Brief History of the DoD Space Test Program, December 1993 [ 184 Pages ]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/dodspace.pdf\">A Brief History of the DoD Space Test Program, December 1995 [ 178 Pages ]<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/CounterforceFromSpace(1961).pdf\">Counterforce from Space, 1961<\/a>\u00a0 [ 31\u00a0Pages, 1.67MB ] &#8211;\u00a0The concept of counterforce is analyzed in terms of the strategy, tactics, and weapons involved. It is concluded that the present tendency of military leaders to talk of &#8220;counterforce&#8221; and &#8220;deterrence&#8221; as inter:- changeable concepts greatly clouds the real issue of just what are the advantages and implication-s of a nonpre-.emptive counterforce strategy. The possibility of performing realistic counterforce operations from space (assuming essentially unlimited payloads), the tactics deployment, and weapons involved are examined.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/ADA288770.pdf\">Department of Defense (DoD) Space Programs and Activities, November 1994<\/a>\u00a0[ 6 Pages, 300k ]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/ADA228953.pdf\">The Military in Space: A Selected Bibliography, August 1990<\/a>\u00a0[ 35 Pages, 1.93MB ]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a id=\"NRPSpaceShuttle\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/F13-0119_NRP_Use_of_Space_Shuttle.pdf\">National Reconnaissance Program: Utilization of the Space Shuttle, 1981<\/a>\u00a0[ 10 Pages, 5.1MB ]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/potential.pdf\">Potential Military Uses For The Space Station, June 1989<\/a>\u00a0[ 111 Pages ]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/SpaceTestProgramAccomplishments.pdf\">Recent Accomplishments of the DoD Space Test Program, January 1994<\/a>\u00a0[ 23 Pages, 2.45MB ]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/14-073-sovietsdi.pdf\">Soviet Views on SDI, April 1987<\/a>\u00a0[ 73 Pages, 24.11MB\u00a0]<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblackvault.com\/images\/pdf.gif\" alt=\"\" \/>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/documents.theblackvault.com\/documents\/space\/ADB294263.pdf\">Space Situation Awareness AFRL Technology Investment Recommendations, 06 June 2003<\/a>\u00a0[ 98\u00a0Pages, 24.11MB\u00a0] &#8211;\u00a0As the war in Iraq and the global war on terror have demonstrated, the U.
