Air Force Space Command is
leading a new effort to revamp satellite acquisitions.
Its called "space
modernization initiative." The goal is to reduce cost and build satellites
that are less susceptible to enemy jamming or physical attacks.
The U.S. Air Force, which
oversees most military space programs, has tried several methods to cut costs
and spur innovation.
"Are there better,
more affordable ways to provide these capabilities?" asks Air Force Brig.
Gen. Roger W. Teague, director of strategic plans, programs and analyses at Air
Force Space Command.
In search of answers and fresh ideas, Teague is leading a new effort to revamp
satellite acquisitions, called "space modernization initiative." The
goal is to both reduce cost and build satellites that are less susceptible to
enemy jamming or physical attacks.
