WASHINGTON / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – The possible closer integration of the Space Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) could significantly increase the effectiveness of national security programs in space. Marc Berkowitz, a veteran space strategist, emphasized in a Senate hearing the need to streamline management of these programs to position the U.S. as a leading nation in space.

The discussion about integrating the US Space Force and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is gaining momentum after Marc Berkowitz, a space strategist nominated by President Donald Trump, argued for closer cooperation before the Senate. Berkowitz argued that such an integration could improve efficiency in satellite acquisition and operation, as both organizations have similar missions in the area of satellite development and use.
The Space Force, created in 2019, aims to optimize military operations in space, while the NRO specializes in intelligence collection. Despite the creation of the Space Force, Berkowitz said inefficiencies remain that could be addressed through closer collaboration with the NRO. He emphasized that the number of organizations engaged in space technology procurement has increased, leading to budget overruns and delays.
Another focus of the hearing was Trump’s proposed Golden Dome missile defense system, which is being developed by the Space Force. This system is intended to provide a layered defense against ballistic, hypersonic and cruise missiles. Berkowitz plans to work closely with General Michael Guetlein to advance the development of this system, which relies on advanced sensors and possibly space-based interception systems.
The challenges Berkowitz expects in his potential role as Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy include addressing the complex threat landscape in space, particularly China’s growing capabilities in counter-satellite technology. He emphasized the need to ensure U.S. leadership in space while protecting national security interests.
