Gen. John Shaw said that, as recently as last week, a classification issue prevented the command from sharing information with U.S. partners. He declined to provide further details on the incident due to security concerns, but noted it highlights the need for policy change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShame on us if we end up failing in a future conflict because we can\u2019t communicate with our allies and partners as we should,\u201d Shaw said Jan. 24 at the National Security Space Association\u2019s Defense and Intelligence Space Conference in Chantilly, Virginia. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean we open the doors wide. We\u2019ve got to go through this in a systematic and smart way, but I\u2019m telling you where we are is not at the optimal point.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secrecy in the space domain is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2020\/01\/29\/unbelievably-ridiculous-four-star-general-seeks-to-clean-up-pentagons-classification-process\/\" target=\"_blank\">not a new obstacle for the Defense Department<\/a>, which has slowly worked to reconsider policies around how it classifies space programs and shares information gathered by on-orbit assets. That could mean talking publicly about threats or new capabilities, or changing a program\u2019s classification level \u2014 without removing it altogether \u2014 so defense agencies can share information with allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a virtual event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies in mid-December, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/emerging-security-issues-space-policy\" target=\"_blank\">assistant secretary of defense for space policy, John Plumb, called overclassification \u201ca huge, huge problem\u201d<\/a> that the department is \u201creally starting to dig into.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And in a memo last week, Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman highlighted it as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spaceforce.mil\/News\/Article\/3270867\/cso-releases-lines-of-effort\/\" target=\"_blank\">a barrier to international collaboration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shaw told C4ISRNET in an interview at the space conference that, while the department has made some progress addressing classification on individual programs or with certain partners, it hasn\u2019t been broad or fast enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is going to have to be a whole team effort across the Department of Defense and even the government,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of the progress has to be made at the system and platform level, some of it has to be made at the intelligence level, and some of if has to be made in just what we can talk about at the strategic level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Frank Calvelli, who leads space acquisition and integration within the Department of the Air Force, said during the conference that his team is working to break down some classification barriers at the program level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the service starts a satellite or technology development program, it typically gives it one of two security designations \u2014 unclassified or special access program. An effort labeled as a special access program, or SAP, severely restricts information sharing and, according to Calvelli, makes it hard to integrate across platforms and with other military services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to integrate our space architecture. And we need to integrate with our air architecture, with our ground architecture and with our sea architecture,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have to break that paradigm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calvelli, who previously served as the principal deputy director of the National Reconnaissance Office, said the department is behind the intelligence community in this area. Reducing the number of special access program designations within the NRO, which builds and operates U.S. spy satellites, improved collaboration and information sharing across the agency, he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat means we could share across programs, that means we could integrate architecture easily,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s not the case in the DoD. The DoD is about 30 years behind where the NRO and the [intelligence community] are in terms of classification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking last week at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.govconwire.com\/events\/event\/gcw-space-acquisition-forum\/\" target=\"_blank\">GovCon Wire\u2019s virtual Space Acquisition Forum<\/a>, Calvelli said there are several alternatives to immediately designating a program as special access. The Space Force could instead assign a security classification that allows for more information sharing; or a program could remain as special access, but the service could set the data that comes from that program at a different security level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce you\u2019re in a SAP, it\u2019s very hard to get out,\u201d he said at the Jan. 19 event. \u201cIt\u2019s like there\u2019s a SAP mafia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon\u2019s tendency to overclassify space programs is making it harder for agencies
