Space – ISR
Thoughts on Intelligence, Surveillance,
and Reconnaissance for/from Space for
Cyber Professionals

• “Re-”Creation of USSPACECOM
• USSPACECOM is in 2019 T10, Part I, Ch6, para 169
• Creation of Space Force (admit it, you’re jealous)

Why talk about this now?
-
• Intelligence
• Why it matters
• Adversary Intent
• Threat Warning
• Decision Advantage & Situational/Domain Awareness
(in part)
• Surveillance
• Watch it
• Reconnaissance
• Find it

Theme: Competing in SpaceSpace is a Warfighting Domain (see USC T10)
• Congested and Contested
• Remote Sensing, Communications, Precision Timing
and Navigation (PNT)
• Space Domain Awareness
• Space Weapons (not just Buck Rogers and Star Trek anymore)
• Cyber and Electronic threats to Space
• Outlook
• Thoughts and Questions

Permissive Congested and Contested

Space is a Warfighting Domain
• Contested
• Adversary Counter-Space
• Degraded
• Environmental (e.g. Space WX)
• Hundreds of thousands of objects
• Some work, some don’t
• Ops Limitations
• Launch timelines
• Maneuver decisions
• On orbit MX? Not now, but…
• Hubble, ~$205M/service mission

Outlook
10
• Beyond Earth’s Orbit, the other “High Ground”
• Adversary integration of Space into Military Ops
• Dual Use and Obfuscation
• The next Advanced Space Capabilities
• 3D printing, self protection, AI, to name a few

Thoughts and Questions
11
• Big Data Challenges and Opportunities
• PAI, Proprietary, DoD, others
• AFSPC and NRO (Army, Navy?)
• Visualization tools, AI
• Cyber threats and defense
• Defense Contractors
• Commercial sector, (launch and recovery)
• Space-ISR
• Analytics
• DoD (OSD, USAF, IC, others) evaluating best options
• Federated, dedicated, local, distributed?
• USAF: AFSPC to 25 AF (ACC) balance
• Culture: Space Ops vs ISR
• Expertise, what is an expert and where are they?
