Space Force recently released its revised mission: “Secure our Nation's interests in, from, and to space.” Missions from the other 4 x DoD Services: ARMY: to deploy, fight, and win our nation's wars by providing ready, prompt, and sustained land dominance as part of the joint force of all U.S. military. NAVY: to maintain, train and equip combat-ready naval forces capable of winning wars, deterring aggression, and maintaining freedom of the seas AIR FORCE: Fly, fight and win - airpower anytime, anywhere. MARINE CORPS: 1) Seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and other land operations to support naval campaigns; 2) Development of tactics, technique, and equipment used by amphibious landing forces in coordination with the Army and Air Force; and 3) Such other duties as the President or Department of Defense may direct. Previous Space Force Mission: responsible for organizing, training, and equipping Guardians to conduct global space operations that enhance the way our joint and coalition forces fight, while also offering decision makers military options to achieve national objectives. #ussf #spacewarfighting #globallyintegratedoperations #integrateddeterrence

The US Navy is looking into 5G and satellite constellations for improved network shipboard connectivity, according to Rob Wolborsky, Chief Engineer. This will be a key topic of discussion in our upcoming US Navy and United States Marine Corps customer innovation forum. #GovCon #NavalEngineering #ITModernization #DigitalTransformation https://bit.ly/3QEmYxf

Here is a great article highlighting both the legacy and the exciting future of Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific.

“It’s a real world problem,” Michael Monteleone, the director of Army Futures Command’s new All-Domain Sensing Cross-Functional Team (CFT), said during a May 5 panel at the US Geospatial Intelligence Foundation’s annual GEOINT conference in Kissimmee, Fla. Thus, the Pentagon, the Space Force, the Army and the other military services have been scrambling to find alternatives for when (not if) GPS stops working on the battlefield. The difficulty, however, is that each technique available now or in the foreseeable future for what is often called “alt-PNT” comes with a need to make size, weight, power and cost trade-offs based on what type of platform is being used, as well as the nature duration of the mission, according to experts.

According to a new vision document released Tuesday, the service is carving out new space-related missions: Integrating joint space capabilities and interdicting or disrupting adversaries’ use of space for hostile purposes. “Developing new space capabilities organizations and trained professional soldiers to develop effects for Army maneuver forces is critical to multi-domain operations,” the vision document says. “Rapid proliferation and tactical application of competitor space capabilities will erode the advantages that ensure U.S. land dominance. To counter this challenge, current and future Army space integration and interdiction capabilities must enable multi-domain operations for the Army.” “The vision also communicates the urgent need to invest more in space capabilities and formations.” Contact CRG for pre/post award support.

In general, contemporary #Western #military #thinking emerges from four institutional, interrelated subject areas: 1) strategy, 2) concepts, 3) doctrine and 4) plans. Another way to think about these subjects is how they address military challenges. Strategy, for instance, accounts for military priorities. Concepts incorporate the science of military thinking, addressing how to operate, organize and equip from an experimentation-informed analytical perspective while adhering to institutional procurement stratagems. Military doctrine, in most instances, builds on antecedent doctrine and is rarely innovative. Doctrine carries forth what an institution believes to work and, when updated, generally injects only incremental adaptation. Military plans reflect the synthesis of strategy, concepts and doctrine into one of two states: potential or applied. Plans are generally where the art of military thinking is reflected—commanders, and more often their staff, apply judgment, experience and situational understanding through the prism of strategy, concepts and doctrine to develop a course of action ready for the realities of combat. Strategy, concepts, doctrine, plans and theory form an institutional tetrarch that maintains agency over military thinking and impedes independent, groundbreaking thought. Military theory, developed by interested practitioners, civilians and scholars, provides a unique opportunity for thought exploration because it is often unbound by existing institutional constraints. Western militaries would be well served by encouraging and rewarding military theorists, whether or not in uniform, in addition to investing in the institutional tetrarch.

Speaking at Sea Air Space this week #SAS2024, Laura Taylor-Kale, PhD, assistant secretary of defense for industrial base policy, announced that an implementation plan for the National Defense Industrial Strategy would be ready this summer. "The implementation plan will be a living document. We are working on it literally as we speak, and I suspect that it will be completed at some point later this summer..." "My team continues to move forward with the industrial strategy by engaging internal, interagency, industry and international stakeholders while simultaneously developing an actionable classified implementation plan..." #defenseindustry https://lnkd.in/e86XPMy4

Metron Inc., a member of the current #NavySTP cohort, is working to increase the efficacy of sonar prediction systems by developing a new underlying noise model critical to the analysis and simulation of acoustic signals. Their Multi-dimensional Ambient Noise Model (MDANM) combines the latest Oceanographic and Atmospheric Master Library models and databases with advanced signal processing capabilities and statistical methods to produce acoustic detection probabilities and arrivals for multi-element volumetric sonar arrays with associated uncertainty. The warfighter benefits include improved system performance estimates, increased operator confidence, and longer hold times against peer competitors. 🎦 Discover more about MDANM by viewing the tech talk: https://lnkd.in/eD8pBPbt 📊 Check out the quad chart: https://lnkd.in/eZgnK-Gm #defenseinnovation #defensetech #usnavy #ONR #SBIR
