SPACE SECURITY 2003

this is written by an american DOD specialist and pretty much most of the things in this pdf are illegal see page 169 for how they plant to get around the treaties, by claiming they are anti satellite devices

SBSWs devoted to ballistic missile defense missions will likely rely upon satellites deployed in GEO to provide target information and early warning of ballistic missile launches.

Mass-to-target SBSWs would cause damage by colliding with targets with the combined mass and velocity of the space-based weapon itself or by impacting targets with inert or explosive devices.

SBSW development could potentially legitimate attacks on space assets and encourage the development of anti-satellite weapons.

Energy-to-target SBSWs cause damage by transferring energy through a beam focused on a target. This could include, for example, space-based lasers, microwaves, or neutral particle beams.

Space based strike weapons (SBSWs) would operate from earth orbit with the capability to damage terrestrial targets (land, sea, or air) or terrestrially launched objects passing through space, via the projection of mass or energy.
