Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) and UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) - Space Industrial Plan On March 7th, DSIT and the MOD released the Space Industrial Plan, a joint civil-defence plan, establishing clear visions, missions, and actions to unlock growth and develop resilient space capabilities in the UK. The Space Industrial Plan sets out five specific capability goals where the UK seeks leadership across Space Domain Awareness (SDA): In-orbit servicing assembly and manufacturing space data for earth applications Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) satellite communication technology The five specific capability goals will direct resources and efforts to these areas of strategic importance and expected industry focus. https://lnkd.in/eUk4Affx

This is a significant achievement. For the technical and operations nerds like myself: Link 16 is a military tactical data exchange network developed by the United States and NATO to enhance situational awareness, coordination, and communication among allied forces. It operates on a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) architecture, allowing users to share real-time information such as position, track, and identification data. Link 16 also supports secure voice communications and mission-critical data transmission. Think a mesh network in space. Just think what this technology will do for the private sector operations and how we route bits.

Almost seven years after the effort to absorb DISA/IE2 into then-Air Force Space Command as the Commerical SATCOM Contracting Office (CSCO), RAND validates almost every observation we made at the time. In the years since, beyond some level of contract consolidation by CSCO, little has changed. And frankly, until there’s a single voice for the USG’s SATCOM Enterprise (space segment, ground segment, networks, cross-links, encryption, terminal standards, hybrid commercial/military architecture, etc.) that actually has the authority to enforce change, very little likely will. RAND offers the same, high-level recommendations we made years ago - recommendations that informed the CSO’s Vision for Enteprise SATCOM. At this point, everyone’s well-aware of “what” needs to be fixed, but no one’s really addressing the “how”. So many rice bowls. So many guardians. https://lnkd.in/gQe7Wtbj

From land to sea to air to space.

“5G from space will enable Joint All-Domain Command and Control operations especially in austere environments, remote locations and contested areas,” said Joe Rickers, Lockheed Martin’s vice president for Connectivity, Transport and Access.“
