Lasers, electromagnetic jammers, and other patrol satellites are among the military assets France seeks to bolster as part of its "national space strategy" set to be unveiled on Wednesday by President Emmanuel Macron.
The French leader will deliver his speech from the southern city of Toulouse where the country's space agency (CNES) and leading aerospace companies, including Airbus, are based. There, he will also inaugurate a new building in which 500 military officers work on space operations.
