The Secure World Foundation’s annual report, “Global Counterspace Capabilities: An Open Source Assessment,” is now available.
The 2026 edition compiles and assesses publicly available information on counterspace capabilities being developed by 13 countries across five categories: co-orbital, direct-ascent, electronic warfare, directed energy and cyber.
The report discusses jamming against GNSS and other position, navigation and timing (PNT) satellites. It assesses current and near-term future capabilities for each country, along with their potential military utility, and discusses their space situational awareness capabilities.
Countries covered in this report are: the United States, Russia, China, India, Australia, France, Germany (added this year), Iran, Israel, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, and the United Kingdom.
