  Le spatial-militaire, un nouveau champ de bataille

  Tandis que les tensions dans le domaine spatial s'accroissent à l'échelle mondiale, la France a investi résolument dans le secteur, ambitionnant de devenir la seconde puissance militaire occidentale du domaine, derrière les Etats-Unis. Dans cette optique, le Commandement de l'Espace (CDE), créé en 2019, a lancé plusieurs chantiers ambitieux pour permettre à la France de disposer, en 2025, d'une liberté d'action et d'assurer la défense de sa souveraineté dans le domaine spatiale. Aussi, la doctrine, la stratégie capacitaire, l'organisation et la création d'expertises constituent les quatre axes qui ont structuré les travaux de l'état-major du CDE. Interviewé par Air & Cosmos, le général Friedling, premier commandant du CDE, détaille les différents défis que la France et ses armées doivent relever afin de conserver leur rang et d'améliorer sans cesse leurs capacités. La France est en effet la deuxième force spatiale de l'OTAN, et considérée comme l'« allié le plus capable des Américains dans ce domaine », selon le général Friedling. Air & Cosmos du 3 décembre
