Good point, actually the X-37B would make a lot of sense: it’s uncrewed, can obviously be up for a long period of time (years), and can go to pretty high orbits as well on a Falcon Heavy, plus it has an arm right? So it’d just be a question of getting the USSF on board
Does it? I haven't seen many detailed photos of it. I wouldn't be surprised if it did though.
I did some research and couldn’t find any evidence that it does. That could be a capability that the Space Force doesn’t want to be public though
