NEW: Air Force Secretary Troy Meink confirmed Monday that the U.S. has deployed weapons in space and will use them to defend American forces. It's the first public acknowledgment of such capabilities in orbit and a deliberate signal to potential adversaries. "Today we continue to ensure we remain ready to meet the challenges of evolving threats wherever they exist. This is why the United States now has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the joint force against hostile adversary action," Meink told the Air, Space and Cyber Conference, hosted by the Air & Space Forces Association in National Harbor, Maryland. Meink gave no specifics on the weapons and declined to provide additional details when asked. It's unknown when they were put into orbit. - CNN
