He went on to hold a variety of roles across the Air Force\u2019s space enterprise, serving as a chief technical advisor to the Air Force Research Laboratory and later the deputy undersecretary of the Air Force for space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/intel-geoint\/2021\/11\/03\/national-reconnaissance-office-wants-satellite-imagery-from-commercial-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\">As principal director of the NRO<\/a>, a position he\u2019s held since 2020, Meink oversees the spy agency\u2019s day-to-day operations. He\u2019s played a key role in discussions around how to collaborate with the Space Force to provide ground target tracking capabilities from space, as well as the NRO\u2019s efforts to leverage space-based commercial imagery services and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/04\/09\/spy-agency-eyes-may-launch-of-first-proliferated-constellation\/\" target=\"_blank\">launch a proliferated satellite constellation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If confirmed, Meink will lead both the Air Force and the Space Force. His background in space-system acquisition and development could drive more funding toward Space Force priorities as the service looks to double or triple its budget in the coming years to meet an expanding mission set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His nomination comes as the Air Force faces a significant decision about how to fund its current and future portfolio of fighter aircraft, as well as its nuclear modernization programs. Last year, outgoing Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall paused the service\u2019s competitive Next-Generation Air Dominance Program \u2014 a major effort to replace the F-22 stealth fighter \u2014 pointing to concerns about the program\u2019s cost and requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intent of the pause was to give Air Force leadership time to determine whether \u2014 and how \u2014 to reshape the program. Kendall ultimately punted that decision to his successor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meink is also likely to face decisions on what role unmanned aircraft will play across the Air Force portfolio. Trump adviser Elon Musk has suggested the service should abandon efforts to build a crewed fighter to replace the F-35, advocating instead for a heavier focus on drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking earlier this week at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Kendall said he doesn\u2019t think the Air Force is culturally ready to make that shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe culture and history and the legacy of the Air Force, which I have been steeped in &#8230; for my whole life, really, is about the role of the pilot,\u201d Kendall said. \u201cLetting go, to some degree, of that, is an incredibly difficult emotional thing for people to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If
