United States Space Force’s Post

What kind of plan should we have for the #future? Define your goals (SMART), prioritize them (importance & urgency), identify potencial challenges, develop a plan of action (steps, timeline, resources) and evaluate your progress (celebrate or learn and improve). 🚀 "The first step is I’m going to put a relatively small team together, a couple dozen people, and they’re going to do a mission analysis. So, they’re going to do #missionanalysis, probably through the summer into the fall, to make sure we #understand exactly what we’re trying to attack." #spaceforce #spacepower #planning #future #leadership #teamwork

Report: Space Force transitioning to new model for the defense of space ‘In the coming years, the Space Force will likely take additional steps toward a more distributed and proliferated approach for defense space capabilities’ https://lnkd.in/eYqPjfgx

The space investment landscape is shifting towards defense technology and American Dynamism, driven by national security needs and geopolitical tensions. Recent events like the AT&T outage underscore the importance of robust communication infrastructure for both civilian and military applications. The U.S. Space Force's increased budget and the focus on dual-use technologies highlight the growing convergence of commercial and defense interests in space. As we address the militarization of space and promote collaboration between investors, entrepreneurs, and the government, securing our space infrastructure becomes more and more nessasary.

"U.S. Space Command declared full operational capability Dec. 15, four years after the nation’s 11th combatant command was established—and before it has a permanent home base." #elaranova #SPACECOM #SpaceForce #spaceindustry #defenseindustry #Pentagon #nationalsecurity #spacesecurity #nationaldefense #space #spacetech #spacetechnology #nationalsecurityspace

Amidst a swelling expanse of space activities, the Pentagon eyes AI for weapon detection In the evolving realm of space security, the Pentagon grapples with the escalating presence of weaponry beyond Earth’s bounds. The proliferation of objects poised to infiltrate low-Earth orbit compounds the challenge of monitoring potential threats. Addressing this issue head-on, Slingshot Aerospace, a California-based firm, introduces a groundbreaking AI solution named Agatha, tailored to discern peculiar behaviors amidst sprawling satellite constellations—a telltale sign of spaceborne weaponry or other looming hazards. https://is.gd/FCFcnn #Aerospace #AI #artificialintelligence #llm #machinelearning #Military #Pentagon

We had a blast presenting at Payload’s Space Capitol II event in Washington, DC last week. It was great bringing together the most innovative minds in the space industry, all with a common goal of propelling U.S. national security forward. Many thanks to Mo Islam, Jacqueline Feldscher, and the entire team for great discussions with Colonel Eric Zarybnisky, Congressman Doug Lamborn, Major General Kim Crider, and Steven R. E. Jordan Tomaszewski. Key takeaways from the event: ⭐ Continued collaboration between the US government and commercial space companies will be critical to quickly getting the right assets in orbit, where and when we need them. ⭐ We are currently in the “golden age” of commercial space. The US Space Force is now looking at deploying a Space National Guard comprised of experienced practitioners with deep domain expertise. ⭐ Hypersonic technology is the way of the future, with a strong strategic focus on rapidly developing and testing tactical vehicles, missiles, and deterrents. Verve can show you how we accomplish all three. By embedding Agile and DevOps practices with digital thread capabilities into hardware product development, we help make complex, mission-ready parts faster and more accurately. Reach out to us to learn more about how the platform is empowering engineers to collaborate. Great to see everyone. We’ve got a busy fall coming up, and we’re excited to see you all! #aerospace #engineering #govtech

ICYMI: Earlier this month, CSPS published its annual FY 2025 Defense Space Budget Brief. Robert (Sam) Wilson breaks down the FY 2025 budget submission, which reflects the United States Department of Defense's continued emphasis on the transition to a new model for defense space operations. In coming years, the Space Force will likely take additional steps toward a more distributed and proliferated approach for defense space capabilities. 🔗 Read the full brief here: https://lnkd.in/eQRkCBgK #SpacePolicy #NatSecSpace #SpaceForce

"Over the last six months, there has been no mistaking a louder and louder drumbeat in favor of growing the Space Force — from its mission set to its budget to its end strength. So, perhaps the key the question for the service as it enters its fourth year will be: how much growth?" #elaranova #spaceindustry #defenseindustry #SpaceForce #nationalsecurity #spacesecurity #nationaldefense #Pentagon #space

🚀 Is Space Force's "Resilience" Strategy Enough for Orbital Defense? New CSPS analysis reveals challenges in the FY 2025 Defense Space Budget. With a constrained top-line, the focus is on proliferation and commercial partnerships. But is this enough? Key points: a) $29.6 billion requested for Space Force (3.5% of DoD budget) b) Emphasis on distributed, resilient space capabilities c) Integration of commercial satellite services d) Debate: "Brown Waters" vs "Blue Waters" space strategy Is resilience truly deterrence? The space domain needs a credible offensive counterforce capability to ensure robust defense. What's your take on the future of space defense strategy?

"Oh man, what are you doing with a gun in space?" - Armageddon 😂 jk Seriously... Space Futures Command will be the service’s fourth field command, following on Space Operations Command (SpOC), Space Systems Command (SSC), and Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM). Perhaps the biggest change is the planned establishment of Space Futures Command, meant to answer long-term questions such as “Are we developing capabilities for the long term to continue to have advantages and maintain those advantages for years to come in the future? Are we evaluating the future operating environment? Are we evaluating the missions that we’re going to be asked to take on? Do we know how we’re going to accomplish that?” Saltzman said. “That shift to an operational phase where we have to now build and then maintain space superiority in order to continue to provide the services that the force has come to count on is what the real transformation is,” Saltzman said during the conference’s opening session Feb. 12. #spaceindustry #spaceinnovation #space #spacenews #ussf #spaceforce #defenseinnovation #defenseindustry #spoc #ssc #starcom United States Space Force Space Operations Command Space Systems Command United States Department of Defense https://lnkd.in/eqv_9Zgf
