Space-Based Weapons and Platforms: While banned by treaty, research into space weapons continues. The U.S. Space Force and other nations are developing satellites for inspection, jamming, or kinetic strikes. The X-37B, a robotic spaceplane, has completed long-duration classified missions, possibly testing surveillance or weapon systems. Concepts include orbital missile platforms, laser weapons, or anti-satellite (ASAT) systems. China and Russia are also advancing space capabilities. These systems aim to control the ultimate high ground, ensuring satellite protection and denying adversaries space access. Their deployment could trigger an arms race, but their secrecy suggests active development of technologies to dominate the space domain in future conflicts.
