Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Szymanski is a veteran space warfare consultant with nearly five decades of experience in space control, SSA/SDA, BMC2, and the modeling and simulation of space weapons and survivability. He advises top U.S. and allied institutions—from the White House NSC and Joint Chiefs to NATO and national research labs—and has authored hundreds of publications and dozens of international lectures shaping space doctrine and policy. Paul combines deep technical skills (orbital dynamics, sensor coverage, Monte Carlo and MATLAB modeling, CAD RCS work) with strategic-level planning, having developed thousands of courses of action, threat databases, and tools like SWAT for predictive battlespace awareness. He runs one of the largest, hand-curated LinkedIn space warfare forums and has a reputation for translating Sun Tzu–inspired theory into practical tactics and policy. Based in Albuquerque, he also contributes to software projects at the front end (improving UX in popular PWAs like Snapdrop), reflecting a willingness to stay hands-on with modern tools. Colleagues frequently cite him as a singular, unheralded intellect whose work is already influencing current and future military space capabilities.
