New from CSPS: The Space Development Agency and the Future of Defense Space Acquisitions 🛰 The Space Development Agency is at the forefront of the United States Department of Defense's efforts to reshape U.S. space capabilities, with plans to acquire and field hundreds of satellites over the next few years. Although still early in executing its plans, SDA has already shown that it can field systems with impressive speed, leading to claims that it has created a model for rapid acquisition that other defense organizations can follow. In this paper, Andrew Berglund analyzes the SDA's model for rapid acquisition and outlines some of the challenges that other defense acquisition organizations may have in adopting that model. It also considers some of the challenges that the SDA may face in sustaining its model, such as budgetary and acquisition flexibility.

About us
The nation’s space enterprise is facing tremendous change, driven by technology advancements, entrepreneurial investments, new business models, rapidly changing threats, and a complex geopolitical landscape. Navigating this complex domain requires experience and vision. The Center for Space Policy and Strategy is dedicated to shaping the future of space by providing nonpartisan research and strategic analysis to decisionmakers, and to informing broader public discussions of space policy. The CSPS is part of The Aerospace Corporation, a nonprofit organization that advises the government on complex space enterprise and systems engineering problems. The Center exists to address the growing need for expert analysis supporting the development of well-informed, technically defensible, and forward-looking space and technology policy. The Center does not advocate for particular policies, but rather provides objective analysis and data to support key decision makers and an informed public debate. Our mission is to apply respected technical expertise to help decisionmakers explore the full implications of any policy proposal, and to help highlight key opportunities and challenges well before they reach policymakers’ desks.

“This study indicates that verification can be a surmountable obstacle thanks to developments in modern technologies, new stakeholders, and more robust information-sharing processes related to space, as well as new approaches for defining the systems and behaviors that could be limited in space arms control.” Michael "Mick" Gleason, (Ph.D.) spoke with Breaking Defense about a framework that could help ensure that verification challenges are not used as a convenient excuse for giving up on space arms control as an option. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gJKBExiC
