The United States Space Force (USSF) plans to replace the Space Defense Operations Center (SPADOC) with the Space Command and Control System (Space C2) by the end of 2022. The Space C2 program began in 2018, and over the past few decades, the US Air Force has been committed to improving SPADOC, ultimately choosing to launch the Space C2 project. In addition to developing infrastructure, the Space C2 program will also develop applications for the decision-making center to collect, process, and analyze space-based datasensorData from ground sensors.

The future aerospace defense is an integrated joint operation consisting of multiple combat actions such as surveillance, reconnaissance, tracking, target identification, weapon/combat tracking, and casualty assessment. The command and control system is the key to achieving this goal. The construction of the US aerospace defense command and control system has certain reference value for China. In March 2022, the US Department of Defense signed the Joint Area Command and Control (JADC2) Implementation Plan. In the future, China should strengthen the command of various military branchesControl systemEstablish a national joint command and control center for air and space defense to ensure that the air and space defense system can respond to increasingly complex threats.
