The new U.S. Space Force needs new offensive weapons and more sophisticated defenses to counter China’s rapid deployment of multiple space arms that would pose major dangers for the U.S. military in a future conflict, according to an extensive new study.
, currently, the four-year-old U.S. Space Force has just one single known weapon in its arsenal, an electronic jammer called the counter communication system . The jammer can interrupt some Chinese military systems that could target American and allied forces in the conflict, the report said.has built an array of offensive space weapons that include ground-launched missiles now capable of hitting U.S.
The report notes the Space Force jammer “alone will not effectively protect U.S. space capabilities, nor does it have the capacity to hold the increasing number of Chinese space capabilities at risk. Responsible counterspace campaigning will require more.”“But,” she added, “I’d like to emphasize that weapon systems, for the Space Force and other services, are not inherently offensive or defensive. While the Space Force prefers that space remain free of conflict, we’re committed to protecting U.
The Mitchell Institute report said a single new counterpace weapon will not be enough to address “the scope and magnitude of threats and potential targets that are now confronting the Space Force.”
