Satellites and AI are transforming how the world is watched, connected and targeted - and the US, along with Elon Musk’s SpaceX, is at the centre of that shift.

Sky News technology correspondent Rowland Manthorpe investigates the rise of a planetary watch machine and a “digital kill web”: a fast-growing network of satellites, communications infrastructure and artificial intelligence that can shorten the time between seeing a target and acting on it.

The report examines how SpaceX changed access to orbit, how Starlink and satellite networks have become crucial to modern warfare, and how AI systems such as Palantir’s Maven Smart System are being used to process satellite data and speed up military decision-making.

It also explores the geopolitical risks for countries such as the UK, which are trying to build sovereign space capabilities while becoming increasingly dependent on infrastructure controlled by SpaceX and other private companies.
