The Pentagon has unveiled its "Commercial Space Integration Strategy," a pioneering move that underscores the vital role of commercial space solutions in enhancing national security. This strategy represents a significant shift from traditional practices, aiming to fully integrate commercial innovations into the U.S. national security space architecture. Key Takeaways: Strategic Shift: Moving from DoD-specific capabilities to embracing commercial space solutions as integral, not just supplementary, components of national security. Broadened Horizons: The initiative seeks to leverage technologies and capabilities across the commercial market, which were not originally designed for government use but have immense potential to bolster space resilience and capability. Balancing Act: Acknowledging the trade-offs between speed and security, the strategy emphasizes the importance of finding the right balance to maximize the benefits of commercial space innovations. Top Priorities: Ensuring access to commercial solutions, achieving integration before crises, promoting secure integration conditions, and supporting the development of new space solutions. This strategy outlines a future where commercial space solutions are key players in our national defense strategy, showcasing unprecedented opportunities for innovation and collaboration in the space sector. #SpaceInnovation #DefenseStrategy #CommercialSpace #NationalSecurity

🇺🇸 🛰️ The United States Department of Defense (DoD) has unveiled its Commercial Space Integration Strategy, outlining a future where commercial and governmental space solutions align more closely and 🇪🇺 Europe should take note. The strategy is a clear commitment by the US to advancing the path already taken, with an intention to increasingly rely on commercial services. Europe, let's embrace a similar approach. Integrating commercial space services into our strategic capabilities will bolster our position in the global space domain and foster innovation. Key takeaways include: - A balance between commercial and government solutions across various mission areas. - Enhanced use of open standards to foster interoperability. - Reduced classification to facilitate broader collaboration. - Emphasis on resilience, diversified supply chains, and responsible conduct. The DoD sees potential commercial contributions in: - Cyberspace operations - Satellite communication (SATCOM) - Spacecraft operations - Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) - Space domain awareness (SDA) - Environmental monitoring (EM) And continued utilization of commercial services for space access, mobility, and logistics. 📖 Full document: https://lnkd.in/eGYEXTpn #SpaceTech #DeepTech #Venture #DualUse

"Ensure access to commercial solutions across the Spectrum of conflict." "There are currently 13 mission areas for national security space: Combat Power Projection; Command and Control (C2); Cyberspace Operations; Electromagnetic Warfare (EW); Environmental Monitoring (EM); Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR); Missile Warning (MW); Nuclear Detonation Detection (NUDET); Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT); Space Access, Mobility, and Logistics (SAML); Satellite Communications (SATCOM); Space Domain Awareness (SDA); and Spacecraft Operations." Establishing a "CRAF" like model is essential to national security space. It's going to take time and there will be bumps in the road but its a great start! #SSC #spaceishard https://lnkd.in/giCtGwEi

This is promising work. As I've framed in similar posts recently, this idea of "as-a-service" commercial space capabilities acquisition and provisioning to meet DoD critical warfighting needs ultimately will succeed or fail based on the quality and precision of the contracts and SLAs we negotiate, and are willing to pay for. Likewise, as a constructive cautionary idea, just because you can bring the full capacity of DoD buying power to this compelling commercial space renaissance, especially as it applies to crisis and wartime resilience, capacity, service quality, options, agility and reconstitution bench strength, doesn't mean you should assume your ability to orchestrate all of that complexity in a fast road to and through war. Equally important to having all of the reserve capacity commercial has to offer is the ability to manage, maneuver and optimize all the reserve capacity in a fast fight. Nuanced and tricky balance to be sought here: Don't "DoD the crap out of it" (thus pushing away a lot of opportunities with our most capable industry space partners, and dragging ourselves into the usual JCIDs/DoDAF-ish major acquisition morass), but also aspire to frame at least some level of a disciplined and adaptable Enterprise Management/Situational Awareness ecosystem. Hint: It won't magically appear through natural processes. No program, no progress. Easy to say, hard to do. Big programs can be a knarly slippery slope, but no program at all will ensure nothing but chaos, false starts, waste, dead ends, lack of operational coherence when we most need it. I heard a super quote this week from a professional colleague working in this area. He said, "We're going to have to meet many of these commercial capabilities simply where they are - at least as a starting point." Truer words were never spoken; don't overestimate your buying power vis-a-vis your aspirational visions of "control" or "standards." In many instances, you'll simply be consuming a rigorous service plan, albeit in a warfighting/crisis context. Get your SLAs right, and proceed with the right expectations. Invoking this "inherently governmental" idea -- in my opinion not entirely helpful at this juncture. Industry has long been fundamental and deeply integrated to our ability to fight the nation's wars. Nothing new here with commercial space. My sensibility on SATCOM ESC-MC (per the DoD's published vision) -- we would do well to rapidly prototype and experiment our way into some epiphanies in terms of degrees of commercial space integration, but, in parallel, if you don't have a robust governed program to transition/integrate your most successful prototypes into, you're just continuing the grand DoD tradition of admiring the valley-of-death. Let's not do that.

Safety First! The Department of Defense’s revised Commercial Space Integration Strategy has been released. The report outlines the DoD’s desire to strengthen its national security space architecture by proactively incorporating new and existing commercial space solutions into its capability set. Translated, assets developed by the space industry for commercial use would be called upon by the DoD in targeted mission areas, under newly signed agreements. But as the adage goes, “space is hard” and, by extension, expensive. To mitigate the risk of commercial assets being caught in the conflict, the DoD assures military protection (in appropriate circumstances), proactive threat information sharing, and a commitment to promoting international standards for responsible behavior in space. These factors, in addition to better insurance coverage, may incentivize more coordinated efforts between the public and private sectors for years to come. As we gear up for the #SpaceSymposium, I’ll be curious to see how the 2024 DoD Commercial Space Integration Strategy sparks conversation in this burgeoning space economy. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eSz758cR

How many of my fellow space acquirers agree with the DBBs findings, "...blaming many of the problems with space acquisition on the layers of review required for each step in the process, and the seemingly endless meetings required to just to “check boxes.” “Non-value-added bureaucracy and approval levels distract acquisition professionals from their primary mission, increase decision-making timelines, stifle innovation, and contribute to a risk-averse culture,” the report chides."? I have often wondered about the value added at some of the levels between SAE and PM or ML level. I wonder if those levels, such as PEO or SML, need to be more advisory than authoritative over program directions. I see the many levels make sense for taking care of people, but not so much for programs. #spaceforce https://lnkd.in/grm_pCiR
