Employing New Space Capabilities

摘要

As the Pentagon moves forward with the development of new space capabilities, it often turns to the Space Innovation and Development Center (SIDC) to find the best way to employ them. The work of the SIDC, which is located at Schriever Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colo., includes such things as developing integrated solutions for monitoring what goes on in space and turning experimental capabilities into operational tools. The SIDC, which was initially named the Space Warfare Center, was created in 1993 following the recommendations of a blue-ribbon panel examining possible improvements to the Air Force's space operations following Operation Desert Storm.
