The classes will be available starting in 2019 to foreign nationals at the National Security Space Institute at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Air Force will also expand two existing classes on national security space to a number of partner nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhy now? Because we face a more competitive and dangerous international security environment than we have seen in decades,\u201d she said, according to prepared remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRussia and China are developing capabilities to disable our satellites. We will work with like-minded nations to preserve the ability to freely and safely operate in space. We will work with our allies to improve operations, enhance deterrence, defend our vital national interests and prevail when called upon.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/space-symposium\/\" title=\"\" class=\"selected-link\" target=\"_blank\">Click here for more from Space Symposium 2018! <\/a><\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2019, the Air Force will establish two new courses: a three-week unclassified course on space situational awareness and an unclassified \u201cSpace 100\u201d course, which will provide an overview of space operations, orbital mechanics, the launch process, satellite operations and space weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service will also open up two existing classes to selected countries, including a midlevel \u201cSpace 200\u201d course that focuses on space systems development and space power <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAustralia, Canada and the U.K. currently attend. We will invite New Zealand, France, Germany, Japan and possibly others to come train with us,\u201d Wilson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the advanced \u201cSpace 300\u201d capstone class will be opened to Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. for the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a panel earlier on Tuesday, U.S. and U.K. military officials discussed some of the challenges to working cooperatively in space with international partners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. Strategic Command head <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/digital-show-dailies\/space-symposium\/2018\/04\/18\/stratcom-head-dont-doubt-russias-drive-to-develop-invincible-hypersonic-missile\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Gen. John Hyten said<\/a> that while classification makes it easier to acquire space technology \u2014 and to do it more quickly \u2014 it leads to problems when it comes to information sharing with allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEverything we do in space is \u2018secret, NOFORN,\u2019 \u201d he said, using the military abbreviation for \u201cno foreign nationals.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the other panelists, Air Vice Marshall Simon Rochelle, the Royal Air Force\u2019s chief of staff for capability and force development, \u201chas been a friend of mine for many years now,\u201d Hyten continued, \u201cand I can share some very, very sensitive issues with him, but not \u2018secret, NOFORN.\u2019 So I can\u2019t let him get on SIPR [Secret Internet Protocol Router Network,] I can\u2019t let him do all of those kinds of things. We just can\u2019t do that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rochelle agreed with Hyten, calling the classification of many space technologies \u201ca hindrance to international response in space.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of the problem is that the Air Force designs platforms for its own specifications, and not for information sharing with partner nations, said Will Roper, the service\u2019s top acquisition executive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery country is going to have their national secrets, some of which will be able to be shared, some of which won\u2019t,\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot we can do in simply designing things so that there are multiple levels of data that can be shared from across a wide variety of partners, and flipping the imperative \u2014 that you have an imperative to think about sharing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s not just a good to have. It\u2019s a must-do. Right now, it\u2019s not being done anyway, and we\u2019re paying the price for it.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air Force Secretary Heather Wilson says some of the
