美國戰爭(國防)部長赫格塞斯9月30日宣布一系列軍事改革措施,包括由太空探索公司「SpaceX」執行長馬斯克等科技領袖,規劃美國未來戰爭武器需求。
赫格塞斯宣布,由馬斯克攜手前眾議院議長金瑞契(Newt Gingrich)和國防科技公司安杜里爾(Anduril)創辦人拉奇(Palmer Luckey)發起「子午線計畫」(Project Meridian),旨在「專注探索、研發美國後代子孫終其一生需要的武器系統」,使美國能夠不僅在地球,還要在廣袤太空主宰未來戰場。
赫格塞斯強調,子午線計畫善用的是美國凌駕於其他國家,獨特且豐厚的人才庫,「這項計畫將檢驗我們必須攻克的領域,以及我們必須精通的能力」。這也是馬斯克繼「政府效率部」(DOGE)後,再次投入政府事務。
