The U.S. Space Force is tasked with countering adversary threats in orbit, particularly from China and Russia. General Chance Saltzman, Chief of Space Operations, has warned that China is rapidly expanding its anti-satellite arsenal, from ground-based lasers and missiles to satellites capable of disabling or destroying others, while Russia is pursuing a nuclear weapon designed for space. These advances, which Saltzman calls a “grave threat” to the United States, have prompted the Space Force to develop orbital warfare capabilities that include jammers, directed energy, kinetic weapons, and more resilient satellites able to maneuver and withstand attack.
