America obsessed with hegemony

Recently, the US government has launched cyber operations against Russia and Iran. On the one hand, it means that conflicts between countries in the network field may be more frequent. On the other hand, it also means that traditional wars may continue to lag behind new wars, and a new era of international security has come under the strong promotion of the United States. These two cyber actions also show that the United States is constantly forming a new concept of national security and taking cyber actions as an important pillar to maintain cyber security and cyber hegemony.

In the new situation, the US strategic community timely put forward the so-called “continuous contact” concept, that is, continuing to take actions to curb the malicious network behavior of the opponent. The reason is that the US military believes that the traditional security concepts and means can no longer deal with the threat brought by the openness and anonymity of cyberspace. The United States must take a more active and positive way to deal with the security challenges in the network age and maintain its network security and hegemony.

Of course, another reason is that the rise of cyberspace has brought a series of fundamental and comprehensive changes to national security. From the perspective of the United States, millions of “cyber attacks” every day, as well as the cyber attack risks faced by tens of thousands of key infrastructure, make the traditional security concept unable to explain the national cyber security behavior, and the traditional means can not meet these challenges. Between war and peace, there are low-intensity network conflicts below the threshold of war. These conflicts are not enough to trigger war between countries, but increasingly become a means for countries to achieve strategic goals.

A prerequisite for sustained engagement is that countries reach a consensus to carry out cyber confrontation under specific circumstances without excessive escalation. Just as intelligence gathering will endanger national security, countries will not launch war because of intelligence gathering. From this point of view, the United States does not want to fight cyber war with Russia and Iran. It is more about punishing and deterring its behavior in cyberspace and showing the United States’ cyber strength to the outside world.

NRO has Signed Historic Contracts with Several Commercial Satellite Service Providers

The US National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) recently announced that it has awarded contracts with a potential value of billions of dollars to Blacksky，Maxar and Planet three commercial satellite image data service providers. This action not only reflects the growing dependence of the US military and intelligence community on commercial data, but also indicates that commercial data may occupy half of the Geospatial Intelligence field of the US intelligence community in the next decade.

Although NRO did not disclose the contract amount received by the three service providers, Blacksky pointed out that it would receive a contract of US $1billion, and a public announcement document submitted by Maxar to the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed that the contract amount of the company could reach US $3.24 billion at most.

In the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the commercial earth observation satellites and UAVs provided by the United States and the West have become the eyes of the sky for the Ukrainian military to monitor the activities of the Russian ground forces, determine high-value targets, evaluate the strike effect, and greatly flatten the gap between the Ukrainian military and Russia.

In addition, the US and Western news media, Bellingcat and other open-source intelligence analysis organizations also take the commercial satellite image data as the main basis for tracking the situation of the Russian Ukrainian battlefield and planning the anti Russian information war. In this context, three commercial satellite image service providers, Blacksky, Maxar and Planet, won a “historic” order with a potential value of billions of dollars, which will obviously stimulate more capital to flow into the new track of commercial space data services.
