U.S. Space Command’s Post

A vision for the new Space Futures Command is beginning to take shape: according to Breaking Defense, the new command will consist of "a Concepts and Technologies Center, a Wargaming Center and the [existing]Space Warfighting and Analysis Center (SWAC)". Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton has assembled a task force to determine the command's requirements and flesh out other details. What do you expect from Space Futures Command? Will its structure take after the Army Futures Command? https://lnkd.in/ggCx9QjV

This is a new triad (SOF, Space, Cyber) that provides greater options for senior decision makers. There are others as well. Let’s here some of your ideas for new “triads”.

Check out our Chief Strategy Officer #DanielGizinski today as he joins DoD Satcom Chief, OSD DoD CIO #MichaelDean during the ‘Combined Senior Government and Industry Leaders’ panel session to discuss the evolving COMSATCOM environment and the ability to make use of those capabilities. This distinguished panel will examine how DoD might further integrate Commercial SATCOM solutions and enhancements into their baseline architecture as a means of reducing budgetary strains while maximizing SATCOM capabilities to the warfighter. Moderator: Marc Johansen, Col. USAF. (Ret). Industry Panelists: Michael Dean, DoD SATCOM Chief, OSD DoD CIO, Dave Fields, President and Chief Executive Officer, SES Space & Defense, Daniel Gizinski, Chief Strategy Officer, Comtech. Regency EF, 3:30 pm – 4:30 pm EST.

With ever increasing competition in space and tensions high in several regions of the world, the Secretary of the Air Force, and his Chiefs shared the plans for big changes within the Air Force and Space Force. It's time to restructure and retool our forces for a new era, new warfighting domains and ever-changing set of competitors and adversaries.

Using the SOF-Space-Cyber triad is an evolution in deterrence. The ability to operate in a continuum of conflict short of all out war is going to be a key factor affecting the decisions of adversaries on if they want to have a full-scale conflict. Even if that conflict doesn’t include kinetic weapons there could still be a “full-scale” space and cyber war that would be devastating to the economy of a nation. This triad enables us to demonstrate resolve and inflict a cost to shape an adversaries decision before it reaches all out conflict. This is not just a warfighting construct. This is deterrence.

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), SASC Ranking Member the following paper today: Snippets re: the U.S. Space Force: Every military service relies on the Space Force to communicate, navigate, target, and conduct modern warfare. The U.S. Space Force has enjoyed real budgetary growth since its inception, but that does not mean it cannot do more. Classified programs in development must be procured at scale. The Space Force also must be able to defend itself in space and on the ground. Assured access to space remains a top priority for the Space Force, and the launch industry cannot be allowed to consolidate or stop driving down cost-per-launch. The Space Force must ride the zeitgeist of rapid commercial development in the space domain and use that to its advantage. T The size of the Space Force and Space Command unfunded requests in FY25 belie the fact that much more can be done to ensure the U.S. retains the advantage in space. https://lnkd.in/ei8umPd5

“Defence and national security will increasingly rely on informed decision-making at pace across all the moving parts of the modern battlespace. Without space, nations will be left missing a critical piece of the puzzle.” With the modern battlefield continuing to evolve at pace, our new blog looks at the growing importance of the space domain to current and future military operations.

SOF and Space Force integration Operations in denied degraded intermittent and low bandwidth (#DDIL) environments require a capability to enable #SOF and #SpaceForce to collaborate real time. An ability to speak across secret networks, share mission data, and “see” using the same layered geospatial maps.. There is only one technological innovation out there who can immediately deliver this capability and more now .. Immersive Wisdom

In the latest issue of "The Exceptional Release," one standout article grabbed my attention: "Guardians of the Indo-Pacific: The Rise of Fighter Generation Squadrons" by Capt Marlon Bradley. This insightful article takes us into the transformational world of Fighter Generation Squadrons that are bolstering our capabilities in this pivotal theater and highlighting the importance of partnerships and exercises. With an eye on the future and the commitment to uphold regional stability, these squadrons exemplify our continuous evolution in airpower. By cultivating interoperability and advancing our tactical edge, we're not just preparing for the challenges of tomorrow; we're actively shaping a secure future. Whether you're a military professional, an industry expert, or a strategic enthusiast, this feature is a must-read to understand the dynamic landscape of military operations in the Indo-Pacific. Let's engage in a conversation about the impact of these advancements and share insights on how we can further strengthen our global defense posture at #LOA2024. What if I insert Rocket Cargo into the Hypothetical contested logistics scenario? Look for me at the Space Systems Command booth! Let's Chat! Views are my own.
