This is the first time the U.S. Armed Forces have publicly acknowledged the presence of weapons in space…

“Today, we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats wherever they exist,” Secretary Troy Meink said at the Air & Space Forces Association’s annual conference in National Harbor, Maryland. “This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary actions.”

Meink declined to elaborate further during a question-and-answer session immediately following his speech, stating “that phrase was very well thought out.”
