Outer space is a congested strategic domain. The issue of space debris mitigation is one of the key issues of safe space traffic. However, active debris removal (ADR) systems may raise concerns about their dual-use capabilities. In this article, the authors have analyzed the ADR systems focusing on their potential as space weapons. The article concludes that ADR systems can be utilized for harmful purposes, although with limited impact. This limited potential of ADR systems to become antisatellite weapons allow for the development of such systems keeping in place basic confidence and trust building measures. The authors believe the further commercialization of space sector could enhance the space debris mitigation efforts.

清除还是消除?主动碎片清除系统作为反卫星武器

外层空间是一个拥挤的战略领域。减少空间碎片的问题是安全空间交通的关键问题之一。但是,主动碎片清除(ADR)系统可能会引起人们对其双重用途的担忧。在本文中,作者分析了ADR系统,重点是其作为太空武器的潜力。文章得出的结论是,尽管影响有限,但ADR系统仍可用于有害目的。ADR系统成为反卫星武器的潜力有限,这使此类系统得以发展,从而保持了基本的信任和建立信任的措施。作者认为,空间部门的进一步商业化可以加强减轻空间碎片的努力。
