We provide legal clarity and strategic foresight in a highly contested domain
SLSA offers independent actionable research, analysis, and practical tools to support evidence-based decision making on the legal, strategic, and security challenges emerging in and through the space domain.
The Space Law and Security Advisory (SLSA) is an independent consultancy that provides legal and strategic research, analysis, training, and advisory to equip decision makers with evidence and tools to better understand and respond to the security challenges emerging in and through space.
What we do
Legal-strategic Research & Analysis
We bring an integrated legal-strategic approach to space security research and analysis. We analyse the complex interaction between space, defence and security ecosystems, and the legal frameworks that govern them. Our integrated approach provides decision makers with well rounded analysis to design resilient legal and security systems.
Wargaming & Crisis Simulation Research
We provide research and training to advance wargaming as a tool for testing and developing space defence theories, strategies, and warfighting ethos. We design and facilitate wargames to bring legal and strategic decision making into a single, high pressure environment, and to stress test laws of war, rules of engagement, alliance and multi-actor dynamics, and escalation pathways and thresholds in space.
Expert Advisory & Decision Support
We deliver legal and strategic advisory to decision makers on high stakes space security issues; conduct legal and policy audits to identify strategic vulnerabilities; and provide technical support towards the review and design of forward looking space governance frameworks at institutional, national, and international levels.
