LOS ANGELES — A U.S. Air Force Space Command-led team is close to completing definition of the requirements for Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) systems and expects to publish its initial findings in June. The capabilities-based assessment for Rapidly Deployable Space is expected to set firm requirements for capabilities in space-based intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as space situational awareness and satellite communications. Work on the project began last October, and has involved 15 different studies.
