This is the nerve centre where America's Space Force can track missiles fired from anywhere in the world.

這是美國太空部隊追蹤從世界任何地方發射的飛彈的神經中樞。

Coordinates for the second launch are 15 north by 42 east.

第二次發射的座標是北緯 15 度，東經 42 度。

We're the first international media to be allowed inside.

我們是第一批獲准進入的國際媒體。

This is just a drill, but a few weeks ago, they and coalition partners were doing this for real.

這只是一次演習，但幾周前，他們和聯盟夥伴們是真的這麼做了。

When Iran fired a volley of missiles at a US military base in the Middle East.

當伊朗向美國在中東的一個軍事基地發射了一排飛彈時。

We saw Iran launch against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

我們看到伊朗對卡達的烏代德空軍基地發動了攻擊。

Ultimately, we saved the entire installation and the personnel that were there.

最終，我們挽救了整個裝置和在場的人員。

It was absolutely great to make sure that we're safeguarding our US and coalition forces.

確保我們的美軍和聯軍安全絕對是件大好事。

From here, they're also tracking Russian strikes on Ukraine.

在這裡，他們也在追蹤俄羅斯對烏克蘭的襲擊。

They'll only say they share information with allies and partners.

他們只會說與盟友和合作夥伴共享資訊。

But the powerful sensors outside are also America's first line of defence, with growing concerns about Chinese as well as Russian hypersonic missiles.

但是，外面的強大傳感器也是美國的第一道防線，因為人們越來越擔心中國和俄羅斯的高超音速飛彈。

This is how the US Space Force talks to its satellites in the sky thousands of miles away.

這就是美國太空部隊與千里之外的衛星進行通話的方式。

These among the essential elements of what will become its missile defence shield, known as the Golden Dome.

這些都是被稱為 "金穹頂 "的飛彈防禦盾的基本要素。

But they're also concerned about what China and Russia are doing in space.

但他們也擔心中國和俄羅斯在太空中的所作所為。

We're talking satellites with grappling arms that can pull other satellites out of orbit.

我們說的是帶有抓取臂的衛星，可以將其他衛星拉出軌道。

It's becoming increasingly congested and contested, and already tracking more than 11,000 satellites.

它正變得越來越擁擠，競爭也越來越激烈，已經跟蹤了 11,000 多顆衛星。

We are already sparring in the cyber domain and the space domain.

我們已經在網絡領域和太空領域展開較量。

I think one of our Space Force senior leaders talked about dogfighting in space.

我想我們太空部隊的一位高級領導人談到了太空鬥犬。

I don't know that we're quite there in the type of top gun, like dogfighting perspective, but it's something certainly that we need to be ready for.

我不知道我們是否已經到了 "槍林彈雨 "的地步，但我們必須做好準備。

So these are just displays to show you the classification of the room.

是以，這些只是展示房間的分類。

It's a challenge for the US military, which relies on space for navigation, communications and targeting.

這對依賴太空進行導航、通信和瞄準的美國軍方來說是一個挑戰。

One of its senior officers says they'll fight to protect those interests.

一位高級官員表示，他們將為保護這些利益而戰。

We will no longer assume that just goodwill will ensure that an adversary will not attack us.

我們將不再假定僅憑善意就能確保對手不會攻擊我們。

To put it very plainly, you are developing offensive weapons for space?

說白了，你們是在開發太空攻擊性武器？

I think what we're advocating for is the development and fielding of capability.

我認為，我們所倡導的是能力的發展和實戰化。

The only way to deter conflict is through strength.

遏制衝突的唯一辦法就是靠實力。

And we have to have our own systems and capabilities in order to defend those assets.

我們必須擁有自己的系統和能力，以保衛這些資產。

And it has to be made plain to potential adversaries.

而且，必須向潛在對手錶明這一點。

Are you able to tell us what those options are?

But the recent US strikes on Iran's nuclear program gives a glimpse into what they can do.

但最近美國對伊朗核計劃的打擊讓我們看到了它們的能力。

The Space Force played a key role ensuring bombers hit their targets with satellite-guided bombs.

太空部隊發揮了關鍵作用，確保轟炸機利用衛星制導炸彈擊中目標。

Teams like this deployed to the region intercepted and jammed Iranian communications.

部署在該地區的類似小組攔截並干擾了伊朗的通信。
