More info: The DoD program is a space constellation of ballistic missile defense satellites. They enable "improved tracking and potentially targeting of advanced threats, including HGVs and hypersonic cruise missiles".[110] " However, the Union of Concerned Scientists warns developments could escalate tensions with Russia and China and called the project "fundamentally destabilizing".[111] The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace later advocated for a treaty halting development to prevent an arms race in space.[112] Starlink's military satellite development is overseen internally at SpaceX by retired four-star general Terrence J.
