Defense Secretary Harold Brown said the Soviet Union has developed a satellite killing weapon capable of attacking some U S satellites in outer space. He noted the United States lacks a similar capability while acknowledging a June 17 test showing a hunter killer satellite intercepted a Russian target. Brown warned space could become an area of hostility but cautioned the threat presently targets low earth orbit reconnaissance satellites, not early warning or communications satellites.
