Daily Star: Pentagon fears to remain without communication with its satellites

53
The US military command fears that space technology developed by Russia and China may leave the US military without communication with space satellites, the Daily Star reports. Article leads InoTV.



Hitting the US satellite network can seriously hinder the work of the US military.

Our power structure is based on the assumption that we have GPS and satellite communications. If the American army loses these funds, it will have to return to the industrial era, when military successes were determined by numerical superiority over the enemy,
quotes the newspaper as the commander of the First Space Brigade of the US Armed Forces, Colonel Rick Sellman.

According to the report, the US receives about 80% of satellite reconnaissance data that can be disabled directly in space.

According to Zellman, the United States is thinking of developing "near-cosmic aircrafts that could replace vulnerable satellites."

As the newspaper writes, earlier in the Pentagon recognized that the Russian Federation and China "spend billions on the development of space weapons, including anti-satellite weapon and hypersonic aircraft and rockets. "

Although we do not wage war in space, we cannot say that we definitely have peace,
quoted by the newspaper of American Vice-Admiral Charles Richard.

In turn, military expert Peter Singer noted that "if the world powers enter the war on Earth in the 21st century, their battles will reach out to space."

The newspaper points out that Pentagon officials have repeatedly warned of the danger posed by the space projects of other states. For example, US Air Force General Steve Quast said that in the new space race, "China may be ahead of the US 40 years."

President Trump, in his first address to Congress, also called for the conquest of "distant worlds" for 2026, the newspaper recalled.

      Maybe.

          It is confirmed by the development in Russia of the S-500 and other systems of the future (for example, which is used to protect Moscow. Forgot the name. Most likely it can destroy space objects)

              Nudol

              Of course, maybe now everything new is being designed with the ability to destroy space objects.
              Even new modifications of Iskander and Caliber - they will already be able to hit objects on the Moon, Mars and Saturn

              Remember also from whom the defense of Moscow is against and against whom other systems of the future are being created.
              And remember who started the race.

              Maybe the Pentagon needs to calm down and listen to the proposals of other countries, remove its bases and missile defense facilities?

            In states and other countries, spatial orientation systems are being developed without a satellite component! This is not for diapers and other excesses! They work on the case.
            Just not calm all this because alien satellites to shoot down at all looks like a war?

          Well then ... Just now a rocket with satellites did not fly far away ... Why satellites in space to bring down, when you can not drag it to space. And if you refuse to carry other people's satellites at all, then you don’t need to develop weapons

      They only recently caught on and are trying to supply their troops with PAPER "maps. But besides maps, you also need brains to use a compass and a sextant. And they don’t learn this from navigators, unlike ours, who can pack the whole North -Western part of Russia fly around. laughing

          If so ... they do "stray" for the military, they can lead without satellites.

            And can you learn more about such devices? What are they attached to, the sun, the stars, the magnetic field ...? Or maybe, like for helicopter pilots, the instructions say “restoring orientation by interviewing local residents”? (there used to be such a joke) wassat

              Functionally, this is a good computer with a large memory and a bunch of sensors ... of course there is a definition for stars and ... a lot of things.
              I saw, for a long time, the "terrain orientation processor" - he needed to know exactly only the START place !!! you go further on the map, a cool device, completely autonomous.
              Imagine if you add to this a correction system even for stars or something else? A trained person can make corrections on the map, it’s not difficult.

    So he crawls into the DPRK, which for him is as far away as space.
    in the new space race "China can be 40 years ahead of the USA"
    Just want to ask, but what about "American technology, which has no analogues in the world"? Or is Trump stating it again in a hurry? You already decide who you are and what place you occupy in the world.

    But the satellite does not need much, the main thing is to find it, the adversary, and there you can flare it with a nut. And how not to detect it, if it gives a signal. And will not serve, then the goal without the nut is achieved. But our "sleeping" companions frighten them - they’re hanging out you won’t understand where and why ...
