ADELAIDE — Gen. Stephen Whiting holds the heavy responsibility of waging war in space for the United States when conflict occurs, from maintaining crucial global communications, to counterspace and offensive space operations to countering jamming and moving America’s military satellites.
The commander of US Space Command is currently visiting Australia, meeting with some Australian companies — though he only mentioned by name Silentium, which offers a space situational awareness system in a container — and holding talks with head of the Australian Defense Force, the head of what’s called Defense Space Command here, and other senior military leaders of the Lucky Country.
