Space Command boss talks of space, cyber connection
66th Air Base Wing Public Affairs LEDYARD, Conn. -- Addressing the Air Force Command and Control, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Symposium here today, the leader of the Air Force Space community said space and cyberspace are integrally connected. "Think of space and cyber as circles on a Venn diagram," said Gen. C. Robert Kehler, commander of Air Force Space Command. Those circles, he noted, clearly overlap. "In that overlap is access and persistence," he said. The general said he doesn't think anyone fully understands the connection between space and cyber just yet, but he's sure it's a powerful one. One key connection is that cyber capabilities help enable the utility of space systems. (More) |

command comments ... ... I thought the work that
Sec. Gates did – and I was alongside him for
that – on the ’10 amended budget – was the best
programming and budget work I've seen, and I've
been doing budgets since the mid-’90s. Very hard
decisions – we have to make them. We can't
afford 100-percent solutions; we can't afford
perfection in every single program; and we can't
afford programs that can't contain themselves.
And so I think you'll see more of that in the
future.
