Dominance in space is integral to enhanced full-spectrum operations. To the Army, space is a vertical extension of the battle space. it is key terrain with a unique view of the battlespace and high-capacity data streams conveying operational advantages through highly capable terminals and ground stations. Space systems support intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; weather, terrain and environmental monitoring; communications; missile warning; and positioning, navigation and timing. in operational terms, space provides a virtual forward presence, extends operational reach, enhances connectivity among operational elements, enables advanced logistics concepts and split-based operations, and more. it also provides a universal reference grid and timing system, which lets us operate with precision, speed and comprehensive situational awareness. Space systems, in fact, are essential to achieving the multidimensional situational awareness required for strategic deployability and enhanced full-spectrum operations at home and abroad. Space dominance is integral to achieving the information dominance necessary to execute the enhanced joint operational concepts of Joint Vision 2010.
