WASHINGTON \u2014 The U.S. Space Force\u2019s $24.5 billion funding request for fiscal 2023 represents a 40% increase over last year, driven by an urgency to build out the Department of Defense\u2019s space-based missile warning and tracking architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall told reporters during an embargoed media briefing March 25 that the Space Force\u2019s $7 billion budget growth above the service\u2019s $17.4 billion fiscal 2022 request<\/a> represents a need to shift to more resilient space architectures<\/a>. Much of the increase is focused on research and development, but it also includes additional transfers from the other services as well as the Space Development Agency, which will transition into the Space Force in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe reason there is a Space Force, the reason the Obama administration changed its strategy for space, was because of the threat \u2014 the widespread investment that both China and Russia have in anti-space, counterspace capabilities, including things that threaten us and within all different orbital regimes,\u201d Kendall said. \u201cThis is a move toward systems that can continue to provide the services we depend on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kendall noted that while much of the Space Force\u2019s fiscal 2023 budget request resides in its research and development portfolio, funding will shift toward procurement in the coming years as the service begins to field a new proliferated architecture. The service\u2019s $15.8 billion research and development request is $4.5 billion higher than in fiscal 2022 and more than four times the fiscal 2023 request for procurement funding, which stands around $3.6 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you see the ratios of R&D to procurement costs that you\u2019re seeing in our budgets right now, it\u2019s like a red flag that tells you that the procurement costs that are going to be required to buy the things you have in R&D are going to go up,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, we\u2019re doing the R&D and that\u2019s a down payment on future capability, but there\u2019s a necessity \u2014 if we\u2019re going to be able to effectively deter and project power the way we need to be able to do that \u2014 to move that R&D money and get into procurement and put real quantities of actual equipment in the hands of our operators.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kendall said he has directed the Air Force and Space Force acquisition offices to structure programs in order to field \u201cmeaningful\u201d capability as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor that reason, I think there are going to be some very hard choices as we go through the R&D and define exactly what we\u2019re going to buy in order to get into a procurement mode instead of an R&D mode,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Space Warfighting Analysis Center<\/a> has led the force design efforts that will support major architecture shifts for the Space Force, and its early efforts have focused on the Department of Defense\u2019s missile warning and tracking systems. Informed by that work, the service\u2019s budget request proposes $4.7 billion for the satellites, sensors and ground systems that will make up that architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That includes a $1 billion increase for the Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared System<\/a>, which is developing missile tracking satellites that will be based in geosynchronous and Polar orbits as well as a new ground segment that will fuse data from missile warning sensors. The service\u2019s fiscal 2022 budget included $2.45 billion across the program\u2019s three segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DoD has not yet released its detailed budget justification documents, so it\u2019s not immediately clear how the $1 billion is distributed, but spokeswoman Capt. Samantha Morrison told C4ISRNET the increase includes $576 million in additional funding for the GEO segment and $238 million for Polar, with the remaining $186 million likely supporting the ground segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The budget request also proposes $1 billion for what appears to be a new initiative called Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking, which Kendall said would fund development of the service\u2019s long-term architecture. He didn\u2019t offer much detail on the effort but said it would be part of a \u201cproliferated, multi-orbit, disaggregated architecture\u201d that is more resilient to attack. The early development funding, if approved, will put the service on a track to begin initial procurement of that architecture in the next five years, Kendall noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morrison said the other piece of the department\u2019s space-based missile defense architecture, the Space Development Agency\u2019s Tracking Layer<\/a>, is included as part of the Resilient Missile Warning and Missile Tracking funding line. She did not offer details on specific funding levels for SDA\u2019s missile tracking capabilities, saying \u201cthe entire portfolio is currently under review to determine how best to use the resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere in the budget, the service requests $1.6 billion to procure six Space Force and SDA launches and proposes a $406 million increase for the Evolved Strategic Satellite Communications program<\/a> \u2014 significant growth over last year\u2019s $160 million request. ESS will succeed the Advanced Extremely High Frequency Satellite program to provide secure, survivable and anti-jam communications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The request also adds $108 million for the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability, a rapid acquisition program that will provide all-weather space domain awareness in GEO. Fiscal 2023 funding, if approved, would support the standup of the first DARC site as well as prototyping for the radar. The Space Force in February awarded Northrop a $341 million Other Transaction Agreement<\/a> for the program\u2019s first increment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
