Unfettered access and freedom to operate in space is a vital interest to the United States. Foreign proliferation of advanced space systems has left space operations congested and contested. Further, U.S. adversaries are quickly developing ever more lethal anti-satellite capabilities that threaten our interests. These circumstances present both threat and opportunity. We must transform our national security space enterprise into an architecture that continuously outpaces the adversary threat.
This session will include short overviews of both the threat driving the need for change and a plan for agile acquisition, enterprise solutions, prototyping & partnerships, and streamlining decision making. We will spend most of our time listening to and learning from your thoughts on such a model.
