Michael Guetlein said during the McAleese Defense Programs Conference in Washington. \u201cThat\u2019s what we call dogfighting in space. They are practicing tactics, techniques and procedures to do on-orbit space operations from one satellite to another.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A service spokesperson later elaborated on Guetlein\u2019s comments, saying the operation occurred in 2024 and involved three Shiyan-24C experimental satellites and two other Chinese experimental spacecraft, the Shijian-605 A and B. The Shijian-6 systems are believed to have a signals intelligence mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exercise showcased the country\u2019s ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/05\/20\/space-force-to-demonstrate-satellite-maneuvering-in-2026-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\">perform complex maneuvers in orbit<\/a>, referred to as rendezvous and proximity operations, which involve not only navigating around other objects but also inspecting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guetlein listed the satellite dogfighting demonstration alongside several other concerning activities from \u201cnear-peer\u201d U.S. adversaries. That includes Russia\u2019s 2019 demonstration of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/07\/23\/russia-conducted-anti-satellite-test-in-space-says-us-space-command\/\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cnesting doll\u201d capability<\/a>, where one satellite released a smaller spacecraft that then performed several stalking maneuvers near a U.S. satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These behaviors indicate the space capability gap between the U.S. military and its closest enemies is shrinking, a concern Space Force leaders have been raising for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat capability gap used to be massive,\u201d Guetlein said. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to change the way we look at space or that capability gap may reverse and not be in our favor anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Guetlein\u2019s comments come as the Space Force ramps up its emphasis on establishing \u201csuperiority,\u201d or dominance, in space, both by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/2024\/04\/18\/how-the-space-force-is-making-its-systems-more-resilient\/\" target=\"_blank\">defending its satellites from enemy attacks <\/a>and through offensive measures of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe purpose of the Space Force is to guarantee space superiority for the joint force \u2014 not space for space\u2019s sake. Space [operations] guarantee that, just like all the other domains, we can fight as a joint force and we can depend on those capabilities,\u201d Guetlein said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Space Force spokesperson said the demonstration occurred in 2024 and involved five Chinese
