| The article is in French and has a lot more but this paragraph caught my eyes. [Challenges.fr] Incidents, which have remained confidential, have already been identified in recent years. In France, the military intelligence that has the GRAVE radar for space observation, developed by Onera, has for example noted the repeated maneuvers of a machine, officially dedicated to Russian civil telecommunications, near Intelsat satellites and Eutelsat. Events analyzed as probable trainings to inspection operations and digital intrusions. In Paris, the challenge for the Ministry of Defense is today to develop, with allies such as Germany, a watchful capacity to identify these equivocal postures or threatening. This objective was taken into account for the first time by the strategic defense and national security review presented last October. |

| #2 The Air Force began in one of its bases in Colorado, December 4, an extensive exercise of protection of telecommunication satellites in orbit against hostile actions. A first while a real arms race in space is looming in the next decade. Allied countries were invited to these confidential jobs that will last until the end of the week. France has thus sent a strong delegation outcome of ICE (the Joint Space Command, under the direct supervision of the Chief of Staff of the army, General Lecointre). Private and parastatals, as Eutelsat and SES PanamSat were also invited as observers. By 2022, Washington wants to be able to meet this challenge will be the rapid identification of an intrusion against a satellite and its protection. While the 1967 Treaty governing the use of outer space is no longer able to regulate these situations, the Pentagon also reserves the right to attach these defensive procedures of a retaliatory capability against a possible aggressor. For this, laser firing tests to the space include conducted from ground stations. Incidents, remained confidential, have been identified in recent years. In France, the military intelligence who has the space observation radar GRAVE, developed by Onera, noted for example the repeated maneuvers of a craft, officially dedicated to the Russian civil communications, near Intelsat satellites and Eutelsat. Events analyzed as probable workouts to inspection operations and digital intrusions. In Paris, the challenge for the Ministry of Defense is currently developing, with allies like Germany, a standby capacity to identify these ambiguous or threatening postures. This objective was included for the first time by the strategic review of defense and national security presented in October. |
