Analysis and research on the potential military application capability of Starlink
A comprehensive examination of SpaceX's Starlink low-orbit constellation is presented,conducting on the deployment advantages,capability advantages and application advantages that Starlink has gained based on its manufacturing and launching,location and architecture,as well as quantity and performance.The Starlink's potential military applications are explored through three dimensions:intelligence information collection and acquisition(intelligence chain),missile defense and target attack(kill chain),and command coordination and operation management(command chain).The possible application scenarios are also designed and explained.On this basis,combined with the characteristics of the constellation and orbital parameters,the reconnaissance capability,regional visibility,and coverage of Starlink are simulated and analyzed to offer insights and references for addressing the challenges posed by Starlink in military contexts.
