Space Force Application: Operations which hold terrestrial-
•
Space Control: Operations which Ensure/Deny freedom of
based targets at risk
– e.g., ICBM, Ballistic Missile Defense, and Force Projection
– 3 MM III Missile Wings under the 20th AF
action in space
– Space Situational Awareness for all elements of National
Security Space

NASA, MDA
• AFSSS, GEODSS, Missile Warning Sensors
• Publish the Space Catalog(s)
– Offensive Counterspace: Negation (D5 ops), Prevention
• Counter Communications System
– Defensive Counterspace: Protection
• Protect Links and Data, not physical assets
•
Space Support: Operations which enable other space missions
– E.g. Air Force Satellite Control Network (AFSCN), Launch

Version 18
What does the USAF believe with respect to
cyberspace?
– SC: Cyberspace is a domain like land/sea/air/space and must
be defended
– 21st Century airpower is not the sum but the product of air,
space, and cyberspace superiority
– While still contributing to traditional air and space control
missions, can produce its own tactical, operational, and
strategic effects
AFCYBER Mission:
– O/T/E Forces capable of Ensuring/Denying freedom of action in cyberspace
– Cyber components of Global Vigilance, Global Power, Global Reach
– Present Combat ready forces to CCDR USSTRATCOM trained and equipped to
conduct sustained global operations in and through cyberspace, fully integrated with
air and space operations
Announced: Nov 2006
“Provisional” Stand Up: 17 Sep 07
– “Aim is to develop ultimately a major command that stands alongside Air Force
Space Command and Air Combat Command”
– HQ Temporarily located at Barksdale (8th Bomber Wing)
– 10+ States considered for permanent HQ; Governors heavily involved
– Envisioned to have/consolidate 1 NAF, 4 Wings, 6 Groups, 20 squadrons

Connectivity and Efficiency
why do packet switching in space….
Internet
Protocol (IP)
Based
(Packet Based)
Circuit Based
• Connectivity: point to point & multipoint
• Connectivity: full mesh connectivity
to all Global Information Grid users—
connects anyone to everyone
IP requires fewer COMM resources and provides greater
flexibility
