While the mission is traditionally performed by aircraft, the National Reconnaissance Office, which builds and operates U.S. spy satellites, uses spacecraft for surveillance missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/2022\/01\/19\/us-space-force-wants-funding-for-a-new-mission-tracking-ground-targets\/\" target=\"_blank\"> spent the last few years working with the intelligence community<\/a> and the other military services to determine how to replace JSTARS with a target-tracking system that better integrates air and space systems and to define what roles different agencies should play in that capability. The service\u2019s Space Warfighting Analysis Center led the effort and completed its analysis last September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking March 15 at the McAleese &amp; Associates conference in Washington, Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall called the resulting program and the cooperation between the Defense Department and the intelligence community \u201ca transformation\u201d in the way DoD conducts the GMTI mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re going to try to do this together [as] efficiently as possible to meet both operational and intelligence needs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force requested $243 million for Long Range Kill Chains for FY24 and another $1 billion through FY28. Because the program is mostly classified, the budget documents don\u2019t offer much detail on the sensors the service will develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request describes the program as \u201canother way to harness data from the space domain and incorporate it into the secure environment . . . to sense, make sense and act faster than our adversaries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/03\/01\/air-force-advisers-study-use-of-satellites-for-tracking-moving-targets\/\" target=\"_blank\"> also commissioned a study<\/a> from its scientific advisory board that considers how much of the GMTI mission satellites might be able to take on and looks at options for sensor capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board, which provides expert scientific analysis on Air Force and Space Force technology challenges, will also evaluate the risk of shifting a large portion of the object tracking mission to space-based sensors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A final report is due in December.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because the program
