英国国防部将宣布建立第三空间效能中队，这是一支致力于保护卫星、防御空间威胁并支持潜在进攻行动的新型军事单位1。该中队由英国皇家空军统领，整合了跨越各军事部门的专家，并将运用电子战等先进技术来干扰、削弱和阻止敌对行为1。英国防卫大臣韦斯·斯特里廷将宣布这一举措1。
英国空军参谋长哈尔夫·史密斯空军上将表示："空间不再是从旁支持作战。这是一个直接竞争的领域，我们的军事优势可能被赢得或失去"1。美国在本月早些时候宣布首次在太空部署武器，而俄罗斯也定期尝试干扰英国军事卫星1。
在空间行为规范方面，英国已正式排除破坏性反卫星导弹试验，并继续通过联合国委员会推动负责任空间行为的规范、规则和原则1。为支持空间能力发展，英国政府空间战略至2030年的总拨款为78亿英镑，其中萨克萨沃德航天港将获得额外3000万英镑资金1。
The UK Ministry of Defence will announce the establishment of No III Space Effects Squadron on Wednesday, a new military unit dedicated to protecting satellites, countering space threats, and supporting potential offensive operations1. Led by the Royal Air Force and comprising specialists from across the armed forces, the squadron will employ advanced technologies such as electronic warfare to disrupt, degrade, and deny hostile activities1.
Defence Secretary Wes Streeting will unveil the initiative, which represents Britain's strategic response to intensifying global military competition in space1. Air Chief Marshal Hal Smith stated that "space is no longer a supporting domain for operations. It is a directly contested domain where our military advantage could be won or lost"1. The announcement comes as the United States deployed weapons in space earlier this month, while Russia has conducted regular attempts to interfere with British military satellites1.
The UK has formally ruled out conducting destructive anti-satellite missile tests and continues to advocate for responsible space conduct through United Nations committees1. The government's overall space strategy is backed by £7.8 billion in funding through 2030, with an additional £30 million allocated to Saxavord spaceport1.
