The National Reconnaissance Office is working closely with the U.S. Space Force and U.S. Space Command after signing a document that clearly defines each organization’s roles and responsibilities, NRO Director Christopher Scolese said Aug. 24 at the 36th Space Symposium.
The Protect and Defend Strategic Framework signed by Scolese, Space Force Gen. John “Jay” Raymond, chief of space operations, and U.S. Army Gen. James H. Dickinson, Commander of U.S. Space Command, “formalizes end-to-end operations” between the Defense Department and the intelligence community “on everything from acquisition to operations,” Scolese said. “In practical terms, it defines and deconflict each of our roles. It drives consistent and deliberate coordination at multiple levels. It establishes crisis planning and improves communication. And most importantly, it establishes an unprecedented level of collaboration on all space security matters.”
