US and Allies Develop Joint Orbital Warfare Plan to Enhance Space Security
The United States Space Command (SPACECOM) and its allies, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand, are working on a joint plan for orbital warfare, expected to be completed by the end of the year. This initiative, part of the Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender (MF-OOD), aims to integrate and synchronize the space capabilities of these nations to protect and defend orbital assets. The plan involves developing a collective concept of operations (CONOPS) for space defense, with a focus on counterspace capabilities. SPACECOM has been conducting joint exercises to translate planning into operational capabilities, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in space security.
