2025年4月17日，美國太空軍宣布將加速與商業公司合作，提前實施總統川普提出的「商業化採購」政策。這項政策要求聯邦機構優先採購市面上已有的商業產品與服務，以提升效率並節省成本。

太空軍計劃透過與私營企業的合作，加快衛星和其他太空技術的部署，應對日益嚴峻的太空安全挑戰。這不僅有助於提升美國在太空領域的競爭力，也為民間企業提供了參與國防項目的機會。

然而，這種合作模式也引發了對於國家安全和商業利益之間平衡的討論。專家指出，雖然商業化採購能帶來創新與效率，但政府需確保在關鍵領域保持控制權，以防止過度依賴私營部門。

1. 政策推動商業化採購：
   總統川普簽署行政命令，要求聯邦機構優先採購商業產品，旨在提升效率並節省成本。

2. 太空軍與私營企業合作：
   太空軍積極與民間公司合作，加快太空技術的部署，提升國家太空防衛能力。

3. 平衡創新與安全：
   在推動商業化的同時，政府需確保在關鍵領域保持控制權，以防止過度依賴私營部門。

“Space Force Partners with Private Sector to Pioneer New Era in Space Defense” 

On April 17, 2025, the U.S. Space Force announced it would accelerate cooperation with commercial companies, getting a head start on President Trump’s “commercial procurement” policy. This policy directs federal agencies to prioritize purchasing commercially available products and services to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

The Space Force plans to work closely with private enterprises to speed up the deployment of satellites and other space technologies, aiming to tackle increasingly complex space security challenges. This not only boosts America’s competitiveness in space but also provides private companies with opportunities to participate in national defense projects.

However, this model of cooperation has sparked discussions about the balance between national security and commercial interests. Experts point out that while commercial procurement can bring innovation and efficiency, the government must retain control over critical areas to avoid becoming overly dependent on the private sector.

1. Policy Promotes Commercial Procurement:
   President Trump signed an executive order mandating federal agencies to prioritize the procurement of commercial products to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

2. Space Force Collaborates with Private Sector:
   The Space Force is actively partnering with private companies to expedite the deployment of space technologies, enhancing national space defense capabilities.

3. Balancing Innovation and Security:
   While promoting commercialization, the government must ensure control over critical areas to prevent over-reliance on the private sector.
