The satellites most at risk in the near term are sensors |
|
and the brilliant pebbles for boost-phase defense. The |
|
availability of countermeasures for kinetic energy anti- |
|
satellites (ASATs) tends to downgrade them. Space-based |
|
interceptors and lasers are even less effective. Space |
|
mines appear to be the dominant space-based threat. Their |
|
main advantages are simplicity and low mass. If they can |
|
be forced to use decoys or cannot discriminate, that |
|
advantage is lost. For fundamental reasons discrimination |
|
should become more robust in time and combined defenses |
|
should become more effective. |
