Elon Musk’s high-tech company may lead the US military into the future, which can not only be done figuratively, as SpaceX soon won the US forces’ third gig order.

At the moment, the company, which is still primarily involved in civilian spaceflight, has the most recent mandate to create transport missiles that will replace the Army’s time-consuming and cumbersome logistics solutions. Hypermodern missiles are planned to run at a speed of 7,500 miles per hour, which means they can cover 12,000 kilometers in an hour, so that weapons or various military equipment can be delivered anywhere on Earth in a short time.

In August, Elon Musk’s company won the US Space Force’s $ 1 billion tender, winning a tender for the missile launch. And a few months later, he agreed with the Pentagon to build special satellites that could track the orbits of missiles more accurately than today, that is, control movements in space and airspace.
