Because the number of classified programs is much higher within the space portfolio than for other defense capabilities, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/09\/07\/us-officials-balance-arms-sales-push-against-tech-protection-needs\/\" target=\"_blank\">more restrictions on what capabilities the U.S. can export<\/a> or share with other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seybolt said the international affairs office wants to make it easier for countries to navigate that process by establishing \u201cexport baselines,\u201d where it can work through any projected issues early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe try to knock down as many policy hurdles before we\u2019re at a point where it\u2019s an emerging issue that we\u2019re trying to address,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/space\/2023\/02\/17\/space-force-sees-greater-demand-for-national-security-launch-program\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Falcon-Heavy-1.jpg-1.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Space Force sees greater demand for national security launch program<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The projected growth is driving the service to consider how it can expand its pool of launch providers.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force is also conducting studies and analysis into what types of capabilities might best meet the needs of its international partners, especially as they look to acquire large constellations of satellites. In some cases, Seybolt said, a country may be able to buy access to a satellite rather than acquiring a physical system, which could address exportability concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amid the boost in demand, Seybolt said her office is under-resourced when it comes to funding and personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As an example, she said the International Affairs team has only 15 foreign disclosure officers, whose job is to manage the release of sensitive information. The Air Force has 300 such officers across the service, but most are assigned to different areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen you think about the size of our Air Force and you have 15 people who are fully empowered to work through these issues \u2013 that\u2019s crazy,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to take a look at that.
