Since then, the office has worked on an implementation strategy, which includes writing contractual language for companies that will participate in the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Col. Richard Kniseley, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/05\/08\/commercial-space-offices-kniseley-keeps-focus-on-industry-engagement\/\" target=\"_blank\">who leads the service\u2019s Commercial Space Office<\/a>, said he plans to meet with industry a few times this year as that language gets finalized. He told C4ISRNET in a Jan. 30 interview at the Space Mobility Conference in Orlando, Florida, that the service may be ready to onboard firms to CASR as soon as this year, but it\u2019s more likely to happen in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will still have a couple more industry offerings to that I can be completely transparent with them before they start seeing this in contracts going forward,\u201d he said. \u201cI almost want to get a litmus test from them and make sure that I\u2019m going down the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force\u2019s acquisition arm, Space Systems Command, announced last year it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2022\/10\/19\/space-force-may-seek-commercial-fleet-to-augment-wartime-needs\/\">making plans to create a commercial<\/a> space reserve. The team met with industry in February 2023 and formed a task force soon after to work through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/04\/11\/us-has-planes-boats-on-call-for-emergencies-why-not-satellites\/\" target=\"_blank\">legal, policy, contracting and programmatic concerns<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resulting strategy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/04\/20\/space-force-crafting-framework-for-commercial-fleet-access-in-a-crisis\/\">factors in those concerns as well as feedback from more than 60 companies<\/a> to ensure that both the government and industry understand the requirements and risks associated with leaning more heavily on commercial systems during conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While establishing contractual language is just one piece of the service\u2019s implementation plan for CASR, it\u2019s an important one, Kniseley said. Speaking during a panel discussion at the conference, he said contracts are key to ensuring the capabilities these companies will be providing will remain available when they\u2019re needed most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s how you write the contract,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s the terms and conditions. And that level sets the expectations for the contractor of the services that they will provide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concerns about the reliability of commercial systems during wartime were illuminated last September when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/news\/your-military\/2023\/09\/12\/elon-musk-blocking-starlink-to-stop-ukraine-attack-troubling-for-dod\/\" target=\"_blank\">SpaceX founder Elon Musk revealed<\/a> he had opted not to activate his company\u2019s Starlink communication satellites in certain regions of Ukraine due to fears an attack would escalate the war. The company provided Starlink terminals to Ukraine in the early days of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kniseley alluded to this scenario, without mentioning SpaceX by name, saying that had the company been under contract when it happened, the outcome may have been different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat happened is all the more reason why have to get these on contract right now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Commercial Space Office is also crafting a surveillance plan for CASR members to help ensure that a company is reliable and investing in things like cybersecurity and manufacturing capabilities, Kniseley told C4ISRNET.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOnce we get you to that membership, we need to make sure you\u2019re ready for what that potential bad day might be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond contractual details and reliability metrics, Kniseley\u2019s team is working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the White House\u2019s National Space Council to develop a construct for sharing relevant threat information with CASR members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force recently signed an agreement with the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center \u2014 a Colorado-based organization created in 2019 to disseminate information about in-orbit threats \u2014 to learn more about its threat-sharing approach and potentially use it as a model, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kniseley also hopes to begin collaborating with the Space Force\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/09\/15\/us-space-force-launches-victus-nox-responsive-space-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tactically Responsive Space team<\/a> to test out CASR concepts as part of their capability exercises. That collaboration could help inform and validate a concept of operations for the commercial reserve, which his office is developing with U.S. Space Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once that concept of operations is in place, Kniseley said, the next focus will be to secure funding for CASR. The Space Force\u2019s fiscal 2024 budget request proposed creating a funding line for commercial capabilities, including CASR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fate of that proposal, at least in the near term, will lie in the FY24 defense appropriations bill, which Congress has yet to pass.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The service is fleshing out its
