COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.<\/em>\u2014U.S. allies Germany, France, and New Zealand have been invited to join U.S. Space Command<\/strong>\u2019s Operation Olympic Defender (OOD), which already includes Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with a goal of further strengthening U.S. and allied space operations, Gen. Stephen Whiting, commander of Space Command, said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Our international allies and partners provide strategic and operational advantages,\u201d Whiting said at the annual Space Symposium. \u201cWe share intelligence, we plan together, and we work to ensure that space is safe for all. And we\u2019re working to even improve our integration through improved command and control and planning to make sure that we get even better in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order for OOD was first signed by then Space Command Chief Gen. John Raymond in May 2020, with the aim to coordinate better with allies, and enhance space operations, mission assurance, and resilience.<\/p>\n

The U.S. is already expanding its military space work with partners, he said. In February, the Space Command hosted the Global Sentinel exercise that included 25 countries, two observer nations, and the NATO Space Center of Excellence. The exercised is focused on space domain awareness and how allies and partners can better operate together toward that end, he said.<\/p>\n

At the end of May, Space Command will host the Nimble Titan missile defense war game that will feature 26 countries, including the U.S., Whiting said.<\/p>\n

Space Command has 185 space domain awareness data sharing agreements and this week will add one more with Uruguay, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy sharing space information with spacefaring allies and partners, and academic institutions, we promote trust required for coalition unified action,\u201d Whiting said.<\/p>\n

Whiting also announced that the command\u2019s Capability and Validation Environment (CAVE) has achieved minimum viable capability. CAVE is Space Command \u201cmodeling and simulation laboratory\u201d to analyze warfighting, plans, and campaigns, requirements development, an all-domain joint warfighting concepts, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019ll use that to derive better ways of deterring and planning to conduct operation for a war that\u2019s never happened and a war we don\u2019t want to happen,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Whiting also leaned in on the need for U.S. space forces to be able to conduct dynamic space operations, and on-orbit and logistics infrastructure, two capabilities he said must be \u201cfielded quickly\u201d to help ensure the U.S. remains in \u201cenduring competition\u201d with its adversaries and avoids conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe days of energy neutral, positional operations in space need to end,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s time to bring sustained space maneuver to the AOR. Now sustained space maneuver will change how we operate, opening up new tactics, techniques and procedures and operating concepts, and allowing operations until the mission is complete, not until the fuel we launched with runs out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Necessary capabilities for sustained space maneuver include on-orbit refueling, replenishment, forward sustainment, and repair, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestment in sustained space maneuver technologies is critical to assess our ability to achieve and maintain space superiority,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
