Abstract

RAND researchers discuss the “Duality in Space” project, which explores how space technologies can be used for both peaceful and hostile purposes. They emphasize the lack of a shared global definition for dual-use systems, and how national interests and regional perspectives complicate international governance. Their work seeks to build a common understanding to guide policy development and reduce the risk of escalation in space.
