Many current proponents insist that 'tactical' satellites are a must- have asset since they give the tactical war fighter a significant, palpable advantage in the battlespace. Colonel Tomme, however, argues that developing, funding, and producing these satellites constitute misdirected attempts to convince field commanders that satellite capabilities exist for battlefield exploitation. The author suggests that these proponents need to shift their focus toward the strategic realm, where measurable satellite effects can be meaningfully realized.
