![]() ![]() SECRET: The X-37B has flown a number of mystery missions – what is it doing up there? Secure World Foundation, an organisation promoting peace in space, said “could be used to rendezvous and inspect satellites, either friendly or adversarial, and potentially grab and de-orbit satellites”. One of their bits of tech in development is the X-37B, an unmanned space plane to replace the shuttle. ![]() General John Hyten, commander of Air Force Space Command, said: “Securing our right to use space is simply an extension of an age old principle to guarantee use of global commons.” The Pentagon has begun training Air Force crews in a program called “Space Mission Force” to develop “space warfighters for tomorrow”. BLAST: Orbital platforms could fire energy weapons down onto EarthĪmerica used to be the world’s top space power, but Bob Work, deputy US secretary of defense, said: “We see several nations developing capabilities that threaten to erode our long-assured technological overmatch and our ability to project power.”Work also warned Russia and China could be developing bionic drug-fuelled super soldiers for the battlefield. The space weapons expert also added space warfare could plunge earthbound conflict into darkness as communications and GPS systems are knocked out. “Russia, China, and the US have tested various types of anti-satellites weapons, but no one has permanently deployed them there, as far we know.” “The major powers depend on space systems greatly, which offers a lure for trying to take it away from the other side.

ORBITAL STRIKE: Unmanned probes will battle in space and rain fire on EarthĪmerican modern warfare specialist Peter Singer told Daily Star Online: “He who controls the heavens likely controls what plays out on planet earth.” ![]() Superpowers across the world have tasked military boffins to develop weaponry which can be deployed to space in the break out of a global conflict.Įarth’s orbit will become a battlefield featuring laser armed spacecraft, kamikaze satellites, orbital strike platforms, cyber warfare stations, and war-ready robotics.Įxperts predict this new dimension of war will also change the battlefields of earth, as electronic warfare destroys communications satellites and leaves planet-bound armies stumbling blind in a devastating conflict. ![]()
