SpaceWar is an independent publication covering military space, nuclear strategy, great-power competition, defense technology, and the security forces shaping modern conflict.
What we cover
Security beyond Earth

Modern warfare in motion
Defense operations, military technology, cyber conflict, terrorism, naval power, UAV systems, and the front-line developments defining modern warfare.
War and security coverage spans space operations, strategy, technology, alliances, deterrence, trade pressure, cyber operations, and the military systems that shape conflict on Earth and in orbit.
Editorial standards
- Every published piece is reviewed and approved by a member of our team before it goes live. AI tools are a substantial part of how we produce SpaceWar: they help find and organise sources, draft, edit, check facts and links, and audit published work, and they may produce much of an initial draft. Where an editor is named on an article, that is the person who reviewed it. Important factual claims are supportable and important sources are linked. We say that we interviewed, contacted or investigated something only when we did.
- Quotations are attributed. Images carry credits where available.
- We correct confirmed errors promptly. Material corrections carry a dated note explaining what changed. Articles whose central premise cannot stand are withdrawn, with a notice left at the original address where appropriate.
- We follow established journalistic practice for sensitive topics: medical, financial, and mental-health content is published with appropriate disclaimers and links to qualified professional advice.
- Where an article contains an affiliate link or recommends a product or service connected to Brown Brothers Media, its founders, its staff or their families, that relationship is disclosed in the article near the recommendation.
