Senators unveil bipartisan bill to boost space cooperation with Indo-Pacific allies
“Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who sits on the Armed Services Committee, introduced the Quad Space Act, a bill aimed at strengthening strategic coordination in space among the United States, Australia, India, and Japan — the four nations of the informal Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or ‘Quad.'”
“The Quad Space Act would direct the Secretary of Defense to begin talks with the other Quad governments to identify shared security priorities in space — ranging from space situational awareness to industrial policy — and to report back to Congress with a roadmap for deeper coordination.”
“Though the bill does not allocate funding or authorize new programs, its backers hope to attach it as an item of special interest in the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act.”
