Some context for my quote in Business Insider on China's plans to develop its power in space: Xi Jinping hosted a military ceremony in Beijing on April 19 to inaugurate several new “arms” – namely the Aerospace Force, Cyberspace Force, and the Information Support Force – to replace the old PLA Strategic Support Force (SSF), which had amalgamated the military’s cyber, space, and information warfare capabilities. The main motivation for the restructuring is to increase resources to each arm to enable them to specialize, and make them more directly accountable to central command. Reports suggested that the old SSF had an overly expansive mandate and was spread too thin. After the restructuring, the PLA’s cyber, space, and information forces will answer directly to the Central Military Commission instead of through the now-defunct SSF. It is part of an ongoing effort to modernize the PLA to prepare for conflicts in the 21st century, as China’s leadership believes elements such as space and cyber will play a bigger role, and that making them more operationally efficient is crucial to preparedness and success. China is not afraid to learn from military reforms in other countries, such as the US, and adapt to improve the PLA’s effectiveness. It is possible that the new aerospace force was inspired by the creation of the US space force under Trump. China’s last reorganization of its military regions into theaters in 2016 was also likely inspired by the combatant command system of the US military. Institutional reorganization is simply the first step; the real challenge lies ahead as personnel will need time to familiarize themselves with the new structures to be operationally effective. The party will also have to ensure that new resources allocated to these new military institutions are not squandered. The worst-case scenario for Xi would be for these newly minted forces to become mired in corruption and graft, as was the case with the rocket force that resulted in an anti-corruption purge last year

Donald #Psychopath Trump's anti-China policies vainly antagonized China. Donald #Psychopath Trump must take necessary responsibility for this. If US continues to suffocate China's economy, it will eventually repeat the failure of WW2. And, Japanese businesses such as Toyota, Canon, Nippon Steel , etc. have long assisted China's evolution of manufacturing sector, which eventually enabled China's sophisticated capabilities at space development. Therefore, US should in the first place file series of lawsuits against such Japanese businesses demanding tens of trillions of dollars as reparation. Therefore, US institutions should immediately confiscate total assets of Nippon Steel ASAP. Short-sell Nippon Steel and confiscate its assets. This is the right measure that US should take.

🛰️ Innovative military space applications for European armed forces In close collaboration with EDA’s CapTech Space, the Agency’s Hub for #EU Defence Innovation (#HEDI) kicked off the second framework contract for the HEDI Proof of Concept. The contract paves the way for an innovative #satellite constellation project in Very Low Earth Orbit (#VLEO), specifically designed for military use. #EUdefence #EUspace #space #innovation #DefenceInnovation #SpaceTechnology

"Unlike traditional conflicts defined by clear boundaries, rules of engagement and identifiable actors, space battles in the gray zone are ambiguous, with military and civilian activities that can be difficult to discern." #elaranova #spaceindustry #spacetechnology #spacetech #space #SpaceForce #USSF #Pentagon #nationalsecurityspace #nationalsecurity #nationaldefense

The biggest threats growing with the Chinese counter space capabilities. In 2015, China has established the Strategic Support Force (SSF) to integrate cyberspace, space, and EW capabilities into joint military operations as part of its military reforms. China has a robust network of space surveillance sensors capable of searching, tracking, and char- acterizing satellites in all Earth orbits. This net- work includes a variety of telescopes, radars, and other sensors that allow China to support its missions including intelligence collection, counter- space targeting, ballistic missile early warning. China has deployed a leading role in the space for both reversible and nonreversible effects within last 10 years.

"Russia and China are deploying capabilities that can target GPS and other vital space-based systems in an effort to degrade the military space advantage of the U.S. and its allies,” said Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks.   Recent remarks from the Deputy Defense Secretary and Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff illustrate the need for the capabilities RSA is developing. Specifically, our Jervis Autonomy Module that allows satellites and other space systems to navigate autonomously and undetected in GPS-denied environments.   We’re looking forward to strengthening our existing partnerships with DoD and building new ones this year as we work toward our common goal, increasing national security.   "Recent conflicts have starkly illustrated the indispensable role of space in our nation's defense capabilities. And, in my view, space has emerged as our most essential warfighting domain—integral to our national security, our coalition interoperability and our global stability," Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Navy Adm. Christopher W. Grady said.    https://lnkd.in/gNmJQH4d #spaceindustry #spaceinnovation #nationaldefense #satellitetechnology #spacetech

https://lnkd.in/dty8m8iW China’s spy satellites pose threat to Taiwan, warn space chiefs World’s second-largest economy has pumped billions of dollars into its space programme to catch up with the US and Russia Larisa Brown, Defence Editor Wednesday April 24 2024, 8.00pm, The Times China has a new fleet of spy satellites that could be used to target American and allied warships during a potential war over Taiwan, according to space chiefs from the United States. Beijing has tripled the number of its intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance satellites in orbit to 350 in six years as it develops military capabilities in space at a “breathtaking” speed, the head of the US Space Command has said. Describing China as the US’s top “pacing challenge”, General Stephen Whiting said that Beijing had used “space ­cap­abilities to improve the lethality, the precision and the range of [its] ter­restrial forces”.

It’s fascinating to see how space-based technologies continue to evolve, especially in the context of national security and defense. 🚀🛰️ Learn more: From Microsoft Start Partners Space Force tests small satellite jammer to protect against 'space-enabled' attacks breakingdefense.com defensedaily.com interestingengineering.com #NationalSecurityMatters
