Focus on Defense

In Partnership With:

The U.S. Space Force is looking to collaborate more closely with Canada on an allied command control (C2) system for space domain awareness. Frank Wolfe of Defense Daily writes this week about Space System Command's collaboration with the Canada Department of National Defence on space domain awareness C2. “This effort will provide the means to transform disparate data into coherent operational insight," SSC said.

This is the last edition of Focus on Defense before SATELLITE x GovMilSpace, which kicks off March 23. I will be moderating a discussion on Thursday morning between Frank and our colleague Cal Biesecker on the biggest forces influencing military space today like budget priorities and acquisition shifts.
