ARNSF: The Domain of Space and National Security

This event is only open to members of the ARNSF. If you are not a member but are interested in joining, contact John Nelson at John.nelson@cgscf.org.

In this presentation of the forum, Mr. Thomas A. Gray will address National Security Space and the associated capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities relevant to national security and great power engagement. From news media to cell phones to ATMs and more, the United States and the world rely on space capabilities for the basics in today’s daily life. Citizens have no concept of the ubiquitous nature of how the domain of space influences and enables our daily lives. Mr. Gray will discuss the implications of space and how the capabilities impact our nation, industrial base, and military operations.

Thomas A. Gray serves as the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command’s liaison officer to the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center and Army University with responsibility for the integration of space knowledge and education across various TRADOC, Joint, and other service schools to include the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.

A retired U.S. Army officer, Gray was one of the first officers selected to be designated as a space operations officer. He served in Army Space Command, the Space and Missile Defense Lab, and the SMDC Directorate of Combat Development. He is qualified as a Level 3 Space Professional of the U.S. Army Civilian Space Cadre, holds the space operations officer designation 3Y, and has earned the U.S. Army Master Space Badge. Gray holds a bachelor’s from New Hampshire College and earned a master’s from Central Michigan University.
