That includes a U.S. Navy Mobile Counterspace Capability and an effort called Lunar Locust, neither of which were detailed in an unclassified version of the command\u2019s unfunded priority list obtained by Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/space\/2024\/03\/19\/northrop-darpa-envision-moon-railroad-for-lunar-logistics\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/d5e9a65a-abdb-4129-bb45-53fb87f6fd25.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Northrop, DARPA envision moon \u2018railroad\u2019 for lunar logistics<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The company\u2019s work will focus on identifying the interfaces, resources and funding needed to build such a lunar rail system.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each year after the White House unveils its budget submission, the military services and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2024\/03\/19\/pacific-forces-wish-list-seeks-11-billion-more-than-defense-proposal\/\" target=\"_blank\">combatant commands send Congress<\/a> a rundown of programs they want to fund but that weren\u2019t included in the request. This year\u2019s list comes as Space Command officials express growing concern about how China and Russia\u2019s space ambitions could impact U.S. military operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a memo accompanying the document, SPACECOM Commander Gen. Stephen Whiting labeled China\u2019s activities in particular as \u201cincreasingly assertive actions\u201d that threaten critical space infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis in turn puts Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardians at risk, who rely on space capabilities every day,\u201d he said. \u201cBoth states are already deploying counterspace capabilities that can target U.S. space systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whiting raised particular alarm about threats to GPS, a Space Force-run satellite constellation that provides navigation and timing capabilities to civilian and military users. He also highlighted Russia\u2019s growing focus on cyber and nuclear capabilities, a concern that follows reports that Russia <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/nukes-space-what-have-russia-united-states-said-2024-02-21\/\" target=\"_blank\">may be building a nuclear-armed spacecraft<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond the classified space efforts, the command\u2019s list also includes $393 million for commercial and military operations facilities and space domain awareness sensors and radars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space Command said it needs another $26 million for its Joint Commercial Operations Cell, which pulls commercial tracking data and uses it to augment military inputs. The cell has agreements with 14 international allies, and additional funding would improve access to the data it provides. It would also help support more robust space observation capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWithout funding, expansion capabilities will not be integrated, putting U.S. allies and partner nation protect and defend operations at risk,\u201d the command said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list also includes $161 million for an effort called Project Lighthouse, which integrates space domain awareness radars and sensors to help coordinate Space Command\u2019s understanding of what\u2019s happening in orbit. The money would fund software upgrades, improved data flow and completion of a Multi-Mission Advanced Radar Capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support further space observation capabilities, the command requests $179 million for sensor modernization, including the Army\u2019s Long-Range Tracking and Instrumentation Radar located at the Reagan Test Site in the Marshall Islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRadar capabilities and infrastructure at the Reagan Test Site are the only multi-phenomenology, deep-space surveillance systems in the Pacific,\u201d Space Command said. \u201cLoss of transmitters, power supply or . . . all-weather deep space coverage will take years to recover from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
