Thank you.
Yes, that is a correct statement. However, what is the probability of somebody physically taking out a satellite? It is much less than somebody taking over a satellite electronically or disrupting the flow of information.
We currently monitor the Arctic every minute by taking a look at images and signals from a vast array of satellites. Removing all of those commercial satellites, which provide now probably over 80% of the surveillance and communications capability, is a huge challenge. Taking out certain satellites that provide strategic capability is a different thing. It is really about what the likelihood is of an event occurring and about what the impact of that event is.
Again, the activity that is going on today, which we witness across various nations, is that somebody is disrupting the flow of information. It's not a hostile act of war, but it's enough to disrupt the economy, and economic defence is national defence. It's a question of how one manages that capability.
