The JSOS summit is a high-level forum put on annually by the Defense Strategies Institute Group that brings together senior leaders from the U.S. military, Intelligence Community, international partners, and industry. The topic of the panel was “Forging Integrated Space Power Through Alliances and Partnerships,” mirroring a core tenant of S4S’s mission as a connector of partners and allies to build a stronger, combined space capability based on complimentary systems and interoperability. With S4S as the U.S. command and control nexus, examples of international fusion at the command include the seven-nation Multinational Force – Operation Olympic Defender (MNF-OOD) that conducts coalition space operations, operationally integrated exchange officers from three countries, co-located liaison officers from five countries, and space situational awareness sharing agreements with 30 countries.
