| dc.description.abstract | It is becoming increasingly important to
understand the implications of military strategies moving
beyond our planet and their impact on our security. This
research paper conducts a comparative analysis of space
warfare strategies and policies employed by the United
States, Russia, and China. This research was conducted
using a qualitative methodology, specifically employing a
comparative analysis method to examine and interpret the
data. This study explores historical contexts, strategic
objectives, technological advancements, and the
geopolitical implications of each nation's approach and
addresses the differing approaches of American, Chinese,
and Russian space policies and military doctrines towards
space militarization. The Chinese government uses its
military strategy to integrate space capabilities, and
designs anti-satellite (ASAT) weapons to be used against
America’s supremacy. Meanwhile, Russia is improving its
ASAT technology so that it can catch up with both China
and US. This paper also analyzes the patterns of ASAT
testing, the ASAT test ban treaty, and the risk posed by
Chinese and Russian ASAT weapons to U.S. space assets.
Although the U.S. has the largest budget and can also act
swiftly than any other country, there is a significant growth
in counter-space technologies from China and Russia.
China and Russia did not sign the ASAT test ban treaty
because they want to maintain strategic balance and are
sceptical of U.S. intentions. This study concludes that these
space strategies influence global security. This paper
points out that in order to deal with the hazards of the
militarization of space we have to continue investing in
space security, and arms restrictions should be carried out
while we also cooperate internationally. | en_US |
