The rapid digitalisation of the battlespace has extended the scope of modern warfare beyond terrestrial confines, fundamentally altering its dynamics. The latest report by BAE Systems Digital Intelligence, Decision Making in the Battlespace of the Future , states that with 89% of global military and aerospace industry decisionmakers seeing space as an essential component in national defence, innovation in space has never been more important.
