For Victus Haze, the service is working with the Defense Innovation Unit to help strengthen its partnerships with commercial companies. Birchenough said the team is in the final process of selecting companies to participate and hopes to announce details “in the near future.”

Those awards will go to launch providers as well as companies with spacecraft that can maneuver in orbit — a departure from many of today’s satellites, which are designed to remain in a particular orbital position throughout their service life. The Space Force and U.S. Space Command have identified a growing need for satellites to be able to maneuver away from threats like debris or toward objects the U.S. may want to observe more closely.

I can’t find any corroborating evidence, it was a YouTube short I can’t locate anymore, but apparently Elon Musk was at Space Command talking about a multi-hundred or more defense system like Starlink but where each satellite would carry one or two “tungsten slugs” for a global coverage missile defense system.

Never happen but interesting nonetheless.
