The Space Superiority Readiness Act of 2026 directs the Department of Defense to strengthen the U.S. military's ability to control and defend space against peer adversaries, particularly China. The legislation requires the Secretary of Defense to expand the Space Force's capacity for wargaming, modeling, and simulation exercises that simulate conflict scenarios in space and to develop new training programs for space operators focused on space control tactics and procedures. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretary must submit an unclassified report to Congress analyzing Chinese commercial space capabilities and their potential military applications. The bill reflects congressional concern that space is critical to U.S. national defense and warfighting capability, and it aims to ensure the military is adequately prepared to maintain American space superiority in potential conflicts.
