UK Air Marshal Paul Godfrey told the Center for Strategic and International Studies that his remit includes ensuring that there are clear "touch points" for allies and partners to interact with the nascent Space Force Futures Command.
Lt. Gen. Shawn Bratton, who has been charged to establish the new Space Force Futures Command, said cislunar and dynamic space operations are areas for the command's scrutiny, since neither have yet proven their 'military utility."
Knowing when to build on commercial systems and when to develop something new can be the difference between parity and information dominance.
Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman said the new Futures Command will not just be looking at what new capabilities the Space Force should build, own and operate, but also at how commercial tech, systems and services can fill some needs.
