Elon Musk REVEALS An UPGRADED Starlink: Armed?
The development of weapons and other technologies has frequently made the difference between success and defeat throughout the history of warfare. The threshold has been increased for the world’s forces in recent years by developments in hypersonic missiles, smart bombs, UAVs, directed energy weapons, including lasers, and many other futuristic concepts. And in this scenario, could Starlink be weaponized? Well. let’s find out in todays episode!
Hello everyone! Welcome back to Elon Musk Evolution, where we bring you the most recent news about Elon Musk and his multi billion-dollar companies, space news and the latest science and technology.

The president of SpaceX claims that if requested, the company would think about putting weapons into orbit for the American government. When asked if SpaceX would launch “offensive weapons” into orbit for the United States, Gwynne Shotwell responded, “If it’s for the defence of this country, yes, I think we would.”
In 2018, she spoke at the Air Force Association’s annual conference. The Defence Department is closely examining new technologies, some of which are still in their infancy, that might aid in identifying missiles coming from North Korea, China, and Russia. It is also investigating the concept of putting directed-energy weapons in orbit to shoot down incoming missiles, such as neutral-particle beam ray guns or space lasers.
And recently, for modern and innovative futuristic space weapons that don’t yet exist, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is seeking concepts. Due to security and classification concerns, only a small number of contractors create advanced arms for the U.S. government on a regular basis, however according to DARPA, they are avoiding this problem by soliciting concept concepts for futuristic space weapons from the open market.
The government agency known for producing cutting-edge weapon designs has now announced that it is expanding its search in the marketplace in an effort to finance the creation of cutting-edge space weapons that do not yet exist.
Air Force Maj. Michael “Orbit” Nayak, program manager in DARPA’s Strategic Technology Office, stated in the press release asking for proposals that while “significant innovation is happening in the commercial space industry,” adoption of those new innovations in defence and government space initiatives may be constrained by lengthy procurement timelines and a dearth of cleared companies.

Nayak claims that because of the classification issue, “potentially revolutionary concepts” for space weapons and other space-based national security technology “go untapped.”
DARPA has therefore sent this request to a much wider range of businesses in the hopes of discovering that game-changing technology that can provide a significant tactical advantage over adversary countries.
