Chance Saltzman said that while it\u2019s too early in the budget process to know<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2024\/08\/27\/securing-us-space-assets-is-busting-the-air-force-budget-kendall-says\/\" target=\"_blank\"> how the service\u2019s priorities will match up against other DOD demands<\/a>, awareness of the space environment and the means to protect and fight back against adversary threats are critical needs for the Space Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have to understand what\u2019s going on in the domain to effectively employ counterspace capabilities,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Established in 2019, the Space Force is the newest military service, and its $30 billion budget is the smallest in the department. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has said the demand for space capabilities is outpacing its limited resources and has advocated for the Space Force\u2019s budget to double or triple in the coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Space Force is beginning a transformation that must be executed quickly and at scale,\u201d Kendall said during a Monday speech at the conference. \u201cThat takes resources.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the near-term, more funding for the service could come through a congressional budget increase, though based on the FY25 funding levels proposed by appropriators in both chambers, a move in the opposite direction appears more likely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The House Appropriations Committee\u2019s policy bill would, if passed, cut about $900 million from the Space Force\u2019s request. Senate funding legislation would slash around $1 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon could also draw space funding from the Air Force or the other services\u2019 budgets, making trade-offs to fund key missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saltzman said he\u2019s not sure how the money will materialize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA new mission requires new resources and new funding, so I don\u2019t have a good answer for what those sources are,\u201d he said. \u201cBut you know, we\u2019ve got $800 billion-plus, and we\u2019re going to have to make the decisions about where we need to invest to make sure we can do all the missions effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force has been working for the past several years to determine the right mix of satellites and other systems that will be needed to adapt to new threats in orbit. Led by the Space Warfighting Analysis Center, the service has conducted mission-by-mission reviews that, when stitched together, lay out a vision for its ideal force structure over the next 10 to 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Counterspace capabilities are a key part of that vision, as is space domain awareness, missile warning and tracking and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2024\/09\/04\/space-force-to-field-sensors-for-tracking-air-ground-targets-in-2030s\/\" target=\"_blank\">space-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force views the capabilities it provides as enablers for the other military services, providing key support for maritime, land and air missions. However, in some cases, the other branches are developing their own space capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army in January rolled out a plan to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2024\/01\/09\/us-army-carves-out-its-role-in-space\/\" target=\"_blank\">up its investment in space capabilities<\/a> that support ground operations. Dubbed the Army Space Vision, it emphasizes the need for systems that can interdict, or disrupt, enemy ISR capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asked by reporters whether the Space Force is concerned about potential competition from the Army for personnel or funding, Saltzman said he takes a nuanced view of the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m still not of the mindset that this is a zero-sum game and everything has to come out of somebody else\u2019s budget,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Department of Defense budget ebbs and flows, and you have to understand where you are in that process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not a surprise that the other services want to invest in space systems, Saltzman said, but it\u2019s up to the department to determine whether it makes sense to spread space funding across several branches or focus it within the Space Force\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe just have to find the smart way to do it,\u201d he said. \u201cIf there\u2019s something that they can do that we won\u2019t do, great. If there\u2019s something we can do that they don\u2019t need to do anymore, great. We can share resources.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Awareness of the space domain and the means to protect and fight against threats are top needs for service, according
