U.S. Military And U.S. Intelligence Will Now Monitor Their Spy Satellite Feeds From One Location


Defense Systems: DOD, intel community building joint space ops center

The Defense Department and the Intelligence Community will soon be able to monitor all of their spy satellite feeds from one location, a move that will not only facilitate information sharing but will also allow for integrated testing of new capabilities.

DOD is in the process of establishing the Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC), along with the U.S. Strategic Command, Air Force Space Command and the IC at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., according to an announcement. Initial testing at the facility will begin Oct. 1.
