Pentagon Expands Space Posture With Multiple Initiatives
The Space Force is preparing to launch its next batch of satellites into low-Earth orbit, with the goal of building out a Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture that will provide global coverage and enhance the survivability of the US military’s satellite posture. The initiative is part of a broader effort to expand the Pentagon’s space capabilities, including the development of a Space Data Network that will enable multi-orbit communications. The Space Development Agency is leading the effort, with multiple vendors contributing to the development of the architecture, as reported by DefenseScoop.
