STARS Act of 2024

HR 10108 (STARS Act of 2024) requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense, with the Secretary of State, to develop a Middle East space security strategy within 60 days of enactment. The strategy must assess threats to U.S. and allied space systems, detail progress on integrating Israel into regional security partnerships, and outline plans for multilateral data-sharing on space threats and security architecture. It directly affects U.S. allies and partners in the Middle East, including Israel, by establishing a framework for coordinated space situational awareness and defense. The bill mandates specific elements like threat assessments, capability gap analyses, and cost estimates for regional security cooperation, without making direct policy changes to existing laws.
