To that end, the report calls for the White House to develop a National North Star Vision to guide civil, commercial and national security space efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawn up by the Space Force, the Defense Innovation Unit and the Air Force Research Laboratory, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diu.mil\/latest\/state-of-the-space-industrial-base-2021\" target=\"_blank\">the State of the Space Industrial Base 2021 report<\/a> is the result of discussions with 232 industry experts earlier this year in New Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors of the report find a strong industrial base with significant commercial investment in innovation that can support the government\u2019s space missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll of the near-term metrics about what\u2019s going on in space are very exciting and strong. If you look at the number of inventions and new things that are being done in space, at the innovation ecosystem where you have lots of new companies coming into space, private investment where you have a record amount of venture capital flowing into space startups \u2014 that\u2019s all very positive and very strong,\u201d explained Col. Eric Felt, director of the Air Force Research Laboratory\u2019s Space Vehicles Directorate, at an Atlantic Council event discussing the report\u2019s findings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, the authors note that the flurry of commercial space activity cannot be sustained without strategic direction. Key challenges include ensuring sufficient contract and prototyping funding and opportunities, securing American supply chains, and strategic workforce development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere\u2019s lots of concern that that may not continue,\u201d Felt said of near-term energy and growth in the space sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To that end, the report recommends the White House and its Space Council adopt \u201cspace development and settlement\u201d as our National \u201cNorth Star\u201d Space Vision to synchronize efforts across the military, commercial and civil space sectors. That vision would guide near-term goals, such as the nation\u2019s development of cislunar space, as well as more ambitious long-term goals \u2014 specifically, space settlement and \u201cenabling humanity to become the first multi-planetary species.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That North Star vision recommendation is a carry-over from the 2020 version of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow can we bring the civil, commercial and national security sectors together to work in a unified way?\u201d said Bucky Butow, director of the Defense Innovation Unit\u2019s space portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report\u2019s main recommendations for the Department of Defense mirror the Space Force\u2019s messaging in its nearly two years of existence: The Department of Defense needs to adopt more commercial technologies and services while bringing in more small businesses. Space Force officials have been clear that they want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/02\/25\/space-force-chief-sees-larger-role-for-commercial-industry-in-its-missions\/\" target=\"_blank\">adopt more commercial services for its missions<\/a>, and under the new Space Systems Command the service has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/06\/02\/space-force-will-set-up-one-office-for-commercial-space-services-including-satcom-and-satellite-imagery\/\" target=\"_blank\">established a commercial office<\/a> to help do just that. The Space Force has also opened up more opportunities for small businesses by embracing Other Transaction Authorities and events like Space Pitch Days. Organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/10\/19\/space-force-teams-with-venture-capital-company-on-spacewerx\/\" target=\"_blank\">DIU, AFWERX, SpaceWERX and Space Prime<\/a> have also been created to help bring in new contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the authors want to see more rapid adoption of commercial services in the near-term. They recommend the Department of Defense mandate 20% of the overall DoD budget go to non-traditional commercial service acquisitions. Currently that number is in the single digits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are specific criticisms of government efforts on this front as well. The report calls out the National Reconnaissance Office and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency for being too slow in adopting commercial imagery. While the NRO does have some commercial imagery contracts, it\u2019s in the middle of changing the way it acquires and uses said imagery. In 2019 the agency issued study contracts to guide that effort. It plans to issue <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2021\/11\/03\/national-reconnaissance-office-wants-satellite-imagery-from-commercial-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\">the first awards informed by those study contracts in early 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors also call out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2021\/03\/03\/space-force-chief-says-hes-working-on-a-declassification-strategy-but-offers-scant-details\/\" target=\"_blank\">overclassification<\/a> as an issue that prevents small companies from engaging fully with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur security and resilience in space is critical for our democracy-based world order in the future,\u201d said Chief of Space Operations Gen. Jay Raymond in a statement. \u201cThe recommendations, if followed, have the power to unite and unleash the full innovation, technological and industrial capability of the U.S. and the benefit of all humanity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The authors want the White House to craft a North Star vision to coordinate civil, commercial and national security space
