- -US military control of space is one of four missions spelled out under a national space policy adopted by former president Bill Clinton in 1996. The goal is to make sure US forces have unhindered access to space and space-based services and to deny an enemy any similar benefits.
The US Air Force quietly has put into service a new weapon designed to jam enemy [...] satellite communications, a significant step toward US control of space.
The Counter Communications System was declared operational late last month at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, the Air Force Space Command said on Friday in emailed replies to questions from Reuters.
