The US Space Force aims to double its active-duty force from 10,000 to 20,000 personnel by 2030, with plans to add 2,800 active-duty personnel and 2,000 civilian employees by fiscal year 2027. This expansion is driven by new mission demands, including space control and cyber operations.
President Donald Trump has nominated Lt. Gen. Douglas Schiess for promotion to four-star general and selected him to become the next chief of space operations, signaling continuity in the US Space Force"s emphasis on operational readiness. This nomination comes as the Space Force continues to grow and develop its capabilities.
The US Space Force has awarded three contracts to develop sensors that can detect when satellites are being tracked from the ground, aiming to improve the ability of satellites to respond to potential threats. The $3 million contracts will focus on low-cost, small payloads for military satellites operating in geosynchronous orbit.
The US Space Force is developing a new program to create space-based missile interceptors as part of the Golden Dome defense system, aiming to defend against hypersonic weapons with an initial capability demonstration projected for 2028. The program has a significant projected cost of $175 billion to $3.6 trillion and poses high risks due to its complexity.
The US Space Force has awarded a contract to startup company Tensor to develop compact radios for the Golden Dome program, a missile defense network aimed at protecting the US homeland from missile threats. The radios will utilize the Link-182 waveform to securely exchange data between satellites and interceptors.
