there have been anti satellite missiles that have been developed. america already has early warning systems to detect ballistic missiles, including the fylingdales radar in north yorkshire. now the us wants to build a new radar system for deep space, and one of the new sites could be in the uk. what could end up in the uk is array of parabolic antennas. and it could be anywhere from 10 15 for tracking and potentially 4 6 for transmitting. so it would cover a large area, would it? it would cover a large area to receive, so probably an area of one kilometre in diameter. the deep space advanced radar capability, which will be able to detect an object the size of a football up to 36,000 kilometres away, is being developed here in california. one of the sites visited by the british defence secretary

but for nations too. three, two, we have ignition. last year, the us military launched another ten satellites into space. america also now has its own space force, not least to protect the systems we now all use such as gps location. there are threats in space. i d say the two countries that are most threatening are china and russia. there have been anti satellite missiles that have been developed. america already has early warning systems to detect ballistic missiles including the fylindales radar in north yorkshire. now the us wants to build a new radar system for deep space. and one of the new sites could be in the uk. what could end up in the uk is an array of parabolic antennas, and it could be anywhere from ten
what could end up in the uk is an array of parabolic antennas, and it could be anywhere from ten to 15 for tracking, and potentially four to six for transmitting. so it would cover a large area, would it? it would cover a large area for it to receive probably an area of one kilometre in diameter. the deep space advanced radar capability, which will be able to detect and object the size of a football up to 36,000 kilometres away, is being developed here in california. one of the sites visited by the british defence secretary this week, who wants to strengthen cooperation on space not least to protect critical national infrastructure. space is a growing domain for both commerce, but also to protect all the key national infrastructure that we need to in today s world. it is under threat. in some areas, our adversaries are weaponising space, so we have to make sure at the very least we re providing resilience.
