Abstract
This introductory chapter to the Space Applications and Supporting Services for Security and Defense provides the overview of subjects and areas covered in the section III. Apart from the introductory chapter, 20 contributions cover a wide spectrum of space-based and space-enabled services and applications. The section aims to cover all main applications areas in generic chapters as well as to provide information about niche areas in specific chapters. Together, the identified and covered themes and issues provide a comprehensive setting of space-based and space-enabled services and applications for security and defense.
