Stephen Cambone, Pentagon intel chief, told the Daily Report that the move earlier this year that separated the leadership function of the National Reconnaissance Office from the Undersecretary of the Air Force was just one of a series of upcoming changes. He called the split “useful at this time” and a “sensible thing to have done.” Cambone said that, although there is nothing in the future to preclude a single leader as undersecretary and head of the NRO, “there is a great deal of change and innovation that is on the way.”
The Space Development Agency says it’s on track to issue its next batch of missile warning and tracking satellite contracts this month after those awards were delayed by the Pentagon’s decision to divert funds from the agency to pay troops during this fall’s prolonged government shutdown.
