GENTEXT/REMARKS/1. This calling message provides information for the
Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Space Summit dated 08-11 July 2024.
2. Purpose. The SECNAV will host the Naval Space Summit at the Naval
Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California from 08-11 July
2024. The Summit will re-baseline the naval space focus of efforts
at the strategic and operational level and clarify the way forward
in establishing a path for success against current and future
adversaries.
3. Background. The Navy and Marine Corps are a highly expeditionary
force, capable of rapidly moving and maneuvering forces to any point
in the world to deliver maritime fires and effects in support of
both naval and joint force operations. The naval force now stands
at the average of fundamental change, as space capabilities are no
longer just an enabling function but a key contributor to naval and
joint force operational success. The naval force must be prepared to
harness these innovations and rapidly incorporate them to ensure
that the fleet will continue to outpace and outmatch any potential
adversary. However, today, the space domain is no longer uncontested
with the naval force actively competing with adversaries in what is
now a competitive warfighting domain. The naval force must maintain
and enhance its ability to exploit, protect, and mitigate
degradation to key space capabilities which include space domain
awareness; satellite communications; intelligence, surveillance,
and reconnaissance (ISR); positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT);
environmental monitoring; missile warning; and space control
systems.
4. Execution. To address current and future needs, and how to harness rapidly advancing space technology from both the commercial
sector and Department of Defense (DoD), the SECNAV will host the
Naval Space Summit. Although the naval force continues to evolve
with the establishment of naval space component commands, the
professionalization of naval space occupational fields, and the
development of critical advanced space and information related
capabilities, the naval force must adapt, innovate, and drive
unparalleled creativity that builds enduring advantages to compete
and win on today and tomorrow's battlefields.
5. Agenda. All briefings will be classified. The complete agenda is
