Space Force and NGA sign agreement on space-based intelligence
Posted: Sat, May 24, 2025, 7:35 AM ET (1135 GMT)
The US Space Force and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) signed an agreement Wednesday intended to end turf battles between the two in space-based intelligence. The agreement describes the agencies' roles and responsibilities in acquiring and providing commercial imagery, remote sensing data and associated products, enhancing support to the combatant commands while minimizing redundancy and duplication of effort. The agreement comes amid increasing military demands for faster access to space-based intelligence, particularly commercial satellite imagery, and criticism of the NGA and NRO for creating bureaucratic bottlenecks that slow the delivery of intelligence to military combatant commands. The Space Force had created a program known as TacSRT program (Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking) that leverages commercial satellite imagery and data analytics to support military operations.
