The Space Force's 75th ISR Squadron is looking at not just how to take out enemy satellites on orbit, but also the other dimensions of space systems including ground facilities and the command and control data links in between, explained Lt. Gen. DeAnna Burt.
"The alignment of task forces and operational centers under one commander will provide USSPACECOM a command-and-control structure that enables rapid action to deliver agile and responsive space effects in support of integrated deterrence," said SPACECOM head Gen. Jim Dickinson.
Truly autonomous aircraft can make decisions without continuous human input.
Active debris removal is "definitely a need, and I think there is a use case for industry to get after that as a service-based opportunity," said Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt.
"I think that the hardest part for the Space Force is the challenge of security, and how would we work with small business in enable technologies that you guys have," Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt says.
