US media: The United States is anxious to maintain the military advantage of space

"The United States wants to play a new round of arms competition in space."

The US "Governance of the Country" website published an article on Starlulla Pabst on April 5, entitled that the ground war is not enough, and the United States is leading the war to space.According to the article, it provides funds for the huge space weapon projects that the United States is eager to maintain the military advantage of space, which may cause more conflicts.The full text is as follows:

The United States is funding or other ways to support a series of defense contractors and startups that are committed to the development of a new generation of space weapons, monitoring systems and related technologies.In other words, the United States wants to play a new round of arms competition in space.

For decades, people have been trying to regulate the existence and use of space weapons.In order to cope with the fierce arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the outer space treaty of 1967 stipulated that all countries can freely explore and use space, but they are limited to peaceful purposes.Nearly 60 years later, as the space policy expert Michel Handlon and Graig Altri emphasized, the outer space treaty's vague word for the military restrictions of space "leave enough interpretation space, which may lead to conflict"Essence

The Pentagon established the Space Command in 1985. In 2019, the new military -the Space Army, which "only focuses on the pursuit of the advantages of the space", shows that the US policy once again emphasizes the militaryization of space.

Now, the long -term interest in the United States for space combat technology is reflected in ambitious projects. Defense companies and startups are competing for military contracts to develop a new generation of space weapons and related technologies, including space aircraft, high supersonic rockets andVarious monitoring and communication items.

First of all, the US Space Agency Development Agency recently gave the defense contractor L3 Harris Technology Company, Lockheed Martin, and a $ 2.5 billion contract for Mountain Aerospace Company to "enhance the space structure of combat personnel" in the U.S. military (PWSA) Construction satellite.PWSA is a star group consisting of hundreds of satellites. It can be built according to segments and can provide various combat capabilities, including collecting and transmitting key wartime communication signals to near -ground track.

PWSA will become the pillar of the Pentagon's "Joint Global Command Control System" project.The project aims to improve combat capabilities and accelerate decision -making processes by promoting "obtaining information advantages".

Other R & D work also has a science fiction style.For example, in terms of hypersonic weapon systems and components, the United States Thunder Technology Company and Noshopp Gouman have cooperated to obtain the development of the concept of high alpine-suction weapon (HAWC) of the Ministry of National Defense's Senior Research Project Bureau (HAWC)contract.

The American Fire Eagle Aeronautical Aerospace company hopes to "develop the future rocket system" to "promote the next generation of aerospace and defense systems."In 2021, the company collaborated with the United States Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) to test the Rocket engine at the Spinis Space Center in Mississippi.Recently, the company has won the Army Application Lab and the US Air Force Small Enterprise Innovation Research Award to promote the development of its rocket engine.

It provides funds for the huge futuristic space monitoring and weapon projects, indicating that the United States is eager to maintain its advantages.Military professionals believe that in the "space competition" and increasingly turbulent geopolitical environment, such progress is important, even if there is no possibility of war directly in space.

While improving its own military capabilities, the United States is also vigorously opposing anti -satellite weapon tests in other countries.The United States has recently accused Russia of violating the outer space treaty and may be developing nuclear anti -satellite weapons.But this allegations vaguely, Russia denied it.

With the continuous support of "deterrence" in the United States, major weapons manufacturing and aerospace companies have launched a new generation of weapons and equipment and related technologies.Therefore, the military complex further expands to the space field, and the defense company has new opportunities to obtain a huge profit -making weapon contract, which will even cause more conflicts.(Compiled Mei Mei)
