Those initiatives include the development of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/02\/17\/us-space-force-aims-for-more-resilient-architecture-by-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\">more resilient, interoperable space architectures<\/a> and more intelligence and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2020\/08\/18\/space-force-to-begin-sharing-technical-space-data-with-uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">information sharing<\/a>.
