As the Space Force approaches its sixth birthday, there needs to be an assessment of "gaps and seams" between it and its sister services, said retired USAF Col. Jennifer Reeves, who authored the paper.
Currently part of private equity firm Godspeed Capital, SilverEdge recently announced a generative AI platform designed to handle TS/SCI national security data, which it says is already operational at multiple, unnamed agencies.
Government can’t stop to update systems, so modernization has to happen without interruptions.
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on America, the position of Director of National Intelligence, (DNI) was created to close the gaps in the US Intelligence Community.
DNI Tulsi Gabbard promised to speed the delivery of intelligence products to users including Congress, stressing that intelligence that "come[s] too late, or it's not providing that complete picture that [the president] needs to be able to make important calls" is "useless."
Other than that, for a number of reasons, including the transition to a new administration, our crystal ball for the Space Force in 2025 is pretty darn cloudy.
One of the JCO's new missions will be gathering what the Space Force calls tactical surveillance, reconnaissance and tracking data from commercial remote sensing satellite operators, said JCO head Barbara Golf.

“Time is of the essence. If the U.S. Intelligence Community and its partners do not begin integrating generative AI tools into their workflow, we will always be vulnerable to our adversaries,” Ylli Bajraktar, SCSP president, said.
Perhaps most intriguing is legislative language that calls into question Pentagon and IC plans to declassify data from classified remote sensing satellites that are part of a newly developed joint architecture called the "High-Capacity, Find, Fix, Track, Target and Engage and Assess Constellation," or "HCF" for short.
In this op-ed, Joshua Haecker explains how AI and LLMs can help the Intelligence Community use unclassified information, an often untapped source.
In an exclusive sit down with Breaking Defense, Vice Adm. Frank Whitworth defended his agency's role in moving commercial and government satellite data to the field in a timely manner.
As threats rapidly evolve, digital engineering, manufacturing capacity and robust supply chains are critical to meeting challenges.
The executive branch is "still talking through exactly what the scope and scale" of any new NRO program would be, but the "intent" is to "more cost effectively leverage" commercial capabilities "over the longer term," said NRO's head of commercial programs Pete Muend.
“Mission engineering” can integrate space and ground assets to push data to the edge.
"We are clearly moving away from airborne ISR assets and moving into space. It's the absolute right thing to do from a resiliency and sustainability perspective," Air Force space acquisition czar Frank Calvelli said.
As well as leveraging space systems for its own operations, the Army intends to invest in capabilities to counter enemy space systems, the new vision document explains.
