Report warns of growing counterspace concerns
Posted: Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:32 AM ET (1432 GMT)
A new report says space security is shifting from a niche arms-control concern to a central policy issue as reliance on satellites deepens and the tools to disrupt them proliferate. The annual Global Counterspace Capabilities report by the Secure World Foundation, released Wednesday, finds that interference with space systems now carries immediate military, economic and political consequences, while the capabilities to cause that interference grow. While past discussions on counterspace technologies focused largely on the United States, China and Russia, this report says more countries are developing such technologies.
