AFSPC CONOPS and Space Warfighting Construct Industry Days

Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) will be holding two classified Concept of Operations (CONOPS) and Space Warfighting Construct industry days, 3-4 Aug 2017. The Space Warfighting Construct is the framework for making the Space Enterprise Vision (SEV) an operational reality; it prepares AFSPC for a conflict that extends into space. The SEV, developed jointly by AFSPC and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) in 2015, charts a course to a resilient space enterprise by 2030 that is able to deter aggression within the space domain and, when necessary, prevail in a multi-domain conflict that extends to space. The Vision challenges us to change long-held operating practices and principles, effective in their time, but unsuited to outpacing rapidly maturing threats or to take advantage of fundamental changes in the global space order. The SEV articulates the attributes and imperatives of a force postured to defend and protect through all phases of conflict and sustain the strategic advantage enjoyed by America's joint and coalition warfighters. Our national security objectives are achieved through partnerships within the US Government (DoD/IC/Civil) and with the growing capabilities of Allies and the commercial space sector. Each partner has unique strengths that they can bring to bear in support of the goal to deter and dissuade a conflict from extending into space. Developing and integrating these partnerships into our enterprise is key to its success. These events have limited seating and registration forms submitted for these events will be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis and approval for attendance will be based on an individual's current clearance level.
