Laser weapons deployed in Operation Epic Fury, as Space Force stops Iran’s missiles in their tracks (From the NY Post)
The US Space Force, established in 2019, is critical for air and sea forces to know where and when to attack, when to take cover, and the locations of enemy missiles.
They do it “with satellites that have infrared sensors for finding where rockets are being fired,” Brent David Ziarnick, former professor in the Space Force program at Johns Hopkins University and retired officer in the US Air Force, told The Post.
It's the next generation of warfare predicted by so many dystopian/sci-fi books (you can throw drones into the mix.) Wars without soldiers. The concern in those novels was that this state of being would cause more wars, because concern over loss of life of soldiers would remove any hesitation to engage in one. But that's never really stopped anyone in the past.
