Space Systems Command SBEM Futures

With the EOIR Weather Satellite (EWS) and Weather Satellite Follow-on - Microwave (WSF-M) satellites in acquisition and on-orbit, respectively, Space Systems Command Space Sensing is looking to the future of DOD space-based environmental monitoring programs. To do so, SSC will partner with stakeholders throughout the DOD to identify environmental impacts to missions, and work to ensure relevant capabilities are available to provide decision makers with actionable environmental information. The future architecture will continue reliance on US civil and international partners, and fill DOD-specific gaps with dedicated acquisitions and viable commercial opportunities.
