National Security Space Office
Abstract
The National Security Space Office (NSSO) provides strategic focus and unity of effort across the National Security Space (NSS) enterprise spanning the military, intelligence, civil, and commercial space sectors. NSSO conducts long-range space strategic planning; develops mid- to long-term space architectures; examines trades between space and non-space solutions to user requirements; assesses defense and intelligence space programs for conformity with policies, planning guidance, and architectural decisions; provides technical enterprise engineering; and conducts analyses of space subjects to guide the activities of NSS organizations. The office reports to both the Under Secretary of the Air Force / DoD Executive Agent for Space. Through them it also advises the leaders of the military services, intelligence community, U.S. Strategic Command, Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on space matters. NSSO enables better decisions to guide the future of the NSS community and provides requisite knowledge to better leverage space assets more effectively in support of U.S. national objectives and in concert with land, sea, air and cyberspace capabilities. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because its architectures and other activities guide the acquisition, deployment, and integration of operational systems.
