"The space domain is now much more congested, populated by systems of various sizes, different orbital regimes, and operated by adversaries as well as ourselves," explains David Meteyer, PMP, Group Leader in the Space and Intelligence Division at SPA. In the first edition of his FOCUS: SPA Perspectives "Space Force" series, Dave explores the importance of space domain awareness, building a culture for Guardians, and why this matters NOW. Dave emphasizes, "we help understand the space environment, shape future architectures, and make sense of the information we're gathering. Space Domain Awareness is more than sensors—it is the connective tissue between detection, interpretation, and decision-making. Without it, space defense becomes guesswork." 00:00 What are the most pressing near-term challenges for maintaining U.S. space superiorty? 01:00 What key milestones in the Space Force's development has been most impactful? 01:38 How should DoD policymakers prioritize investments in deterence and defense mechanisms? 02:58 What type of impact can the Space Force have? 03:26 How does deep integration with the commercial sector enhcance resilience and responsiveness? 03:58 What are some innovative approaches that can ensure the USSF's combat readiness? 04:41 What are some critical considerations policymakers should be aware of to remain ahead of evolving threats? 05:52 What are key operational implications in the space domain to secure national interests? 07:23 How critical is it for the Space Force to integrated Combat Command capabilities?
SPA FOCUS: Operating in a Contested Orbit
Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/eh6Z95kF The space domain is no longer a benign operational backdrop that the U.S. operates freely in. It is now shaping into a congested warfighting domain with adversaries rapidly developing their capabilities," says Dave Meteyer, Group Leader in the Space & Intelligence Division at SPA. In the second edition of his FOCUS: SPA Perspectives "Space Force" series, Dave expands on the idea of moving from deterrence to denial and resilience. He discusses how policymakers should prioritize funding warfighting space architecture; accelerate threat-informed concept development; institutionalize space effects into joint planning; and strengthen analytical structure. 00:00 How should DoD policymakers prioritize investments in deterrence and defense mechanisms? 00:38 Advantages of operating from space 01:08 Next steps
SPA FOCUS: How the U.S. Can Stay Ahead in the Orbital Arms Race

Yet readiness in space cannot be theoretical. In a contested domain where launch cycles are long and failure is expensive, the United States must validate its capabilities before they leave Earth. In part three of his four-part Space Force series, SPA Group Lead David Meteyer, PMP explores the use of Modeling and Simulation tools like Digital Twins, live-virtual-constructive test environments, and mission-level simulations to reduce potential cost and overall risk. When adversaries are fielding orbital threats in real time, readiness cannot be deferred. 00:00 Innovative apporaches that can help ensure the USSF's combat readiness 00:25 Deep modeling and simulation 00:45 Key factors policymakers should consider to the Space Force ahead 01:30 Futures command's capabilities

These three prepositions define how we compete in today's "Space Race." In the final part of this four-part series, SPA Group Lead David Meteyer, PMP expands on how the U.S. must organize, invest, and fight across these dimensions, and where gaps remain. Dave explains how the effectiveness of Space Force's mission not only depends on capability but integration as well. When operating in a congested domain, Space Domain Awareness (SDA) is not just a technical task, but an operational imperative.
