Lieutenant General Dianna M. Burt, deputy chief of the US Special Operations Forces for Cybersecurity and nuclear weapons, said that the Space Forces plan to complete an analysis of various options this fall on how best to track moving targets directly from orbit.
According to her, it will still take time to develop the necessary technologies for precise guidance from space. She explained that they are now working closely with various commercial companies and industry partners to understand exactly what methods and approaches will help to implement the indication – that is, detection and tracking – of moving aerial targets from space.
General Burt made this statement on August 4 at an event hosted by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies at the American Aviation Agency (AFA).
In short, the task is not easy: we need to find the best ways to "see" objects in space in real time that are flying fast and may be a potential threat, and do it from orbit. Detailed work is currently underway to understand which technologies will actually work and be able to become part of the defense system.
