Each of the armed services has a unique approach and bureaucracy for identifying systems requirements and application of space systems to its operational forces. This paper reviews the historical and existing institutional structure of the naval space organization, some of the uses of space systems by operational units, and the naval processes for identification of future systems requirements. Observations are made that the Navy experienced great success early on in the use of space. After a period of seeming malaise, the Navy's space program began a renaissance in the 1980's which is still in progress. A review of selected portions of the history of the U.S. space efforts in general, the naval space program in particular, and the military challenge of Soviet space achievements opens this paper. Portions of current institutional structuring of naval space organization are the result of policy decisions made 30 years ago. The author offers suggestions toward potential enhancement of the Navy's space requirements process in the increasingly joint environment.
