U.S. Space Command will conduct a classified wargaming exercise featuring 25 commercial space companies, marking a significant expansion of military-commercial space cooperation. The exercise represents an effort to integrate private sector capabilities into national security space operations.
According to Maj. Gen. Keener, the exercise is designed to help Space Command "better understand commercial challenges, requirements, and how we can better work together." The classified nature of the wargame suggests it will involve sensitive scenarios related to space-based threats and defensive capabilities.
