Seems wasteful, better to have root access (like via X-37b) to them now ahead of time and reroute attacks en route in real time if/when the time comes. Using enemy infrastructure to take out their own seems most efficient.
The whole "Hack A Satellite"[0] partnered with USAF and DDS seems like its leaning operationally in that direction more and more for at least recruitment.

- jeffbee 6y agoIn cyberwarfare it somehow seems far more likely that the Chinese or even the Russians will use our assets against us, not the other way around.
- cinquemb 6y agoIf you are considering cyberwarfare the targeting of satellites of weapon systems, and not what most people consider cyberwarfare, I think all sides would be prudent to target such capabilities equally.
- mhh__ 6y agoThe NRO do apparently have football field sized antenna arrays parked near comm sats, so I would guess the hack the satellite thing was to find how much further ahead they are rather than as a proof of concept
