The U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) has released an updated strategic vision under the leadership of U.S. Space Force Gen. Stephen Whiting. The vision aims to ensure a safe, secure, and sustainable space domain in the face of increasing threats. By 2027, USSPACECOM plans to conduct dynamic, partnered, and integrated space operations and transregional missile defense support to enable Joint Force lethality and effectiveness while protecting it from space-enabled attacks. The vision emphasizes a "laser focus" on fulfilling Title 10 and Unified Command Plan responsibilities, including Space Operations, Global Sensor Manager, Global Satellite Communications Manager, Transregional Missile Defense, and Space Joint Force Provider. Four priority objectives are outlined: maximizing combat readiness by 2027, achieving and maintaining space superiority, building a coalition of superior military space power, and shaping military space power for the future fight. The vision is intended for USSPACECOM personnel and aims to communicate the command's trajectory to the American people, allies, partners, and competitors.

In response to the "USSPACECOM Strategic Vision" report, federal contractors might consider the following actions:
