The Pentagon plans to name a new outside review panel to survey military space management and operations, reports Andy Pasztor of the Wall Street Journal. A DOD spokesman told Pasztor that there is a timeline for the review, but the department is still considering appropriate appointees. The last overarching review was the 2001 Commission to Assess US National Security Space Management and Organization headed by Donald Rumsfeld before he stepped down to become Defense Secretary.
As the Space Force prepares to field new fleets of satellites that can track moving targets in the air and on the ground, it’s working to ensure it has the organizational structures in place to onboard and operate those systems.
