According to a new report, China is rapidly developing a wide range of anti-space capabilities as part of its ongoing efforts to provide military power in orbit.
The report on global aerospace countermeasures capabilities for 2025, published on April 3 by the Secure World Foundation, provides an updated and comprehensive analysis of developments in various countries in the field of aerospace countermeasures, focusing on technologies and strategies that may pose a threat to space objects. The document says that China is making continuous efforts to develop a wide range of offensive anti-space attack weapons, and also describes in detail a number of activities in the field of direct ascension anti-satellite defense systems (ASAT), orbital anti-satellite systems, rendezvous and rendezvous operations (RPO), directed energy weapons and electronic warfare (EW). "Over the past decade, China has conducted numerous tests of technologies and capabilities that are either offensive anti—space attack weapons or can be used as such," the report says.
Covering long-term developments, the report includes new activities over the past year. In particular, he suggests that China has deployed an experimental satellite in geostationary orbit (GSO) to practice space jamming, citing reports from the People's Liberation Army, which, for example, state that their existing jamming methods do not work on certain types of GSO communications satellites, and calls for research into new methods and strategies. The report failed to identify which Chinese satellite or satellites conducted the experimental space jamming.
