Title:
Leveraging Commercial Space Services: Opportunities and Risks for the Department of the Air Force
Report Date:
2023-09-07
Abstract:
The expanding global commercial space industry offers new opportunities for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Technological advances in small satellites, lower launch costs, and innovative satellite applications may help DoD meet its mission requirements more efficiently and give it access to a broader innovation pool. The Department of the Air Force (DAF), particularly the U.S. Space Force (USSF), is increasing its partnership activities with the commercial space industry to take advantage of these opportunities. As the DAF makes investment decisions to leverage commercial space capabilities, it needs a better understanding of opportunities, risks, and challenges it might encounter.
