Strategic satellite systems are the crown jewels of US national defense. They give the US capabilities matched by no other nation, but they are expensive. This report details a pivotal event in the history of strategic systems procurement during the procurement drawdown that followed the Cold War. With Congress sinking to mindboggling new levels of dysfunctionality yet strategic space more important than ever, this report will be valuable to anyone looking to set things right going forward. Abstract: the report discusses allegations of wrongdoing and suppression of critical reports in relation to various satellite systems, including Milstar and DSP/FEWS. It highlights concerns about the management of these programs and potential violations of the Procurement Integrity Act. The report emphasizes the importance of these satellite systems for the military and the need for rigorous scrutiny of their design and costs. It also mentions ongoing investigations and cautions against rushing to judgment. The report concludes by urging a focus on the requirements and credibility of these systems. Additionally, the report explores alternatives and methods to preserve the Air Force's options for space-based tactical warning and attack assessment systems. It discusses the role of the Defense Support Program (DSP) as a safety net for the Follow-on Early Warning System (FEWS) and evaluates near-term enhancements to the DSP to provide improved interim capabilities. The report suggests an evolutionary approach to continue the DSP program, employing technology insertion and planned product improvements to control costs and improve performance. Overall, the report emphasizes the need for a cost-effective and viable DSP program that can adapt to changing national priorities and threats.
