New OPIR strategy relies on prototyping and experimentation to shape future investments.
The US military has adopted a new space architecture that aims to harmonise Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) requirements for strategic and tactical missile warning, missile defence and battlespace awareness missions a strategy that spans three agencies and tens of billions of dollars in planned spending.
The Overhead Persistent Infrared Enterprise Architecture Strategy, provided by the Pentagon to Congress in late December 2020, aims to address concerns by lawmakers about a lack of consensus inside the US military over an agreed and affordable integrated enterprise space architecture.
4 Service can take on many forms, but for one Joint Task Force-Space Defense member it included several uniforms when transferred to his third service in October.
Maj. Darrell Glover, Requirements, Architectures and Analysis Division chief, first entered military service more than 20 years ago when he enlisted in the Army, in what is today combat communications. The Modesto, Calif., native fulfilled his dream of world travel but was only able to deploy once to Kosovo.
After completing his service commitment in 2003, Glover returned to California where he and his then fiancé hit the books at college.
“About halfway through my degree, I started to miss the comradery and considered returning to the service,” he said. “I was seeing my friends deploy and realized I missed the military lifestyle and the uniqueness of what we do.”
The technology gathers and anaylizes images that are then checked over by a human intelligence analyst.
Surveillance cameras, drone sensors and space-spaced satellite reconnaissance technologies are all designed make instant object determinations, perform data analyses and quickly identify items of interest. This is a process which can be both extremely complex and challenging for force commanders looking to navigate unknown terrain or fast-changing combat dynamics on the ground below.
An extensive, elaborate database of factors, facts, variables and identifiable geographical features are all part of a broader interpretive calculus necessary to provide images, video feeds or renderings to human decision makers. A technology-focused industry firm which does work with Department of Defnese called CACI is developing a new software application called FeatureTrace to improve or expedite this process.
In August of 2018, Vice President Mike Pence announced the establishment of the eighth branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, the Space Force, in a speech at the Pentagon. This was the first time in 70 years that a new branch would be added, aimed at putting the United States at the forefront of space exploration and strategic imperative.
As noted by the Military Times, Space Force was initiated to be tasked with providing “space expertise to combatant commanders,” as well as to be “composed of personnel from all services, with experts in operations, intelligence, engineering … prepared to deploy teams of space operators to Europe and Pacific by next summer.” Space Force aims to improve upon U.S. counterintelligence as a whole.
