Time for the USAF to step up, and dominate from space.
The weaponized laser system that is rumored to be in use by our Military is likely the result of "Star Wars" (circa Ronald Reagan). I used to hope that we have a super top secret defense plan in operation in orbit around the earth. Note there has been a lot of resourced put into taking out enemy satellites (from all sides). I expect by now, we may have fallen behind in the weaponized orbit department.
I can only imagine that in full scale world war, GPS systems around the world would be attacked, among other satellites. Question is, do we have the type of defense systems in space that can neutralize and/or support our surface weapons (like aircraft carriers battle groups)?
SSBNs have it covered right now.
RE post 5: Overtime.
By treaty, you can’t put weapons in space. Supposedly.
Pournelle’s Rods from God should have been implemented 30+ years ago.
