USA’s Space Command har indledt en ny serie af klassificerede krigsspil, hvor private virksomheder inviteres til at deltage. Den første øvelse, kaldet Apollo Insight, simulerede et scenarie med en potentiel atomdetonation i kredsløb omkring Jorden.
General Stephen Whiting, øverstkommanderende for Space Command, præsenterede initiativet tirsdag under en debat arrangeret af Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies. Space Command står for militære operationer i rummet, mens Space Force leverer personale og udstyr til disse missioner.
De nye krigsspil kombinerer militær og kommerciel ekspertise for at håndtere simulerede trusler i rummet. I år planlægger Space Command at gennemføre fire såkaldte "tabletop exercises" under Apollo Insight-programmet.
