Milan Pathak is a research assistant with the junior research group SACS (Support for Arms Control in Space) at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. His work lies at the intersection of space systems engineering and space security, with a particular focus on the weaponization of space and arms control in the space domain. By applying systems engineering methods, he analyses and characterizes potential space weapons, develops architectural concepts for space conflict scenarios, and assesses offense-defense balance in Space.
Through this interdisciplinary approach, he aims to bridge technical analysis with strategic policy considerations to support the development of effective arms control and verification regimes in outer space.
