Most likely they mean to use space as in communications and surveylance. By controling and exploiting space (low earth orbit in this case) the military maintains the edge in these areas. By destroying the enemys orbital spy gadgets and com sats they keep that edge. We already have missiles designed to shoot down spy and com sats. This is a natural extension of warfighting in the mdoern era. You don't want the enemy to be able to communicate nor do you want them to be able to take pictures of you.
