00:01.779 --> 00:04.500
For more than 60 years . Space sensing

00:04.510 --> 00:06.909
technology has stood as a cornerstone

00:06.920 --> 00:09.310
in our nation's defense , upholding

00:09.319 --> 00:11.779
global security and solidifying a

00:11.789 --> 00:15.340
secure future . However , strategic

00:15.350 --> 00:17.517
competitors are quickly developing and

00:17.517 --> 00:19.461
fielding more advanced and diverse

00:19.461 --> 00:21.683
missile capabilities threatening to tip

00:21.683 --> 00:24.020
the scale of our military advantage

00:25.940 --> 00:28.489
most imminently . China and Russia are

00:28.500 --> 00:30.722
fielding a new generation of hypersonic

00:30.722 --> 00:32.611
low flying missiles that are more

00:32.611 --> 00:34.779
difficult to detect and track while

00:34.790 --> 00:36.799
also demonstrating the ability to

00:36.810 --> 00:40.430
deploy anti satellite weapons . This

00:40.439 --> 00:42.606
scenario demands a cutting edge ground

00:42.606 --> 00:44.772
system capable of collecting data from

00:44.772 --> 00:46.939
diverse sensors and swiftly processing

00:46.939 --> 00:49.189
it into actionable intelligence to

00:49.200 --> 00:51.279
counter these evolving threats at

00:51.290 --> 00:54.419
unprecedented speed . Future ,

00:54.430 --> 00:56.299
operationally resilient ground

00:56.310 --> 00:59.259
evolution or forge is the modern ground

00:59.270 --> 01:01.437
system that will transform the missile

01:01.437 --> 01:04.949
warning and tracking architecture . It

01:04.959 --> 01:07.015
is the next generation ground system

01:07.015 --> 01:09.480
that supports legacy and future opir

01:09.489 --> 01:11.339
systems , providing the modern

01:11.349 --> 01:13.349
infrastructure and digital platform

01:13.349 --> 01:15.293
needed to turn data collected from

01:15.293 --> 01:17.730
space based sensors into actionable

01:17.739 --> 01:19.879
information in support of national

01:19.889 --> 01:22.519
security objectives at the met speed .

01:23.410 --> 01:26.330
Most recently , the Ford program under

01:26.339 --> 01:28.395
the strategic missile warning ground

01:28.395 --> 01:30.395
and integration acquisition , Delta

01:30.395 --> 01:32.228
achieved the initial operational

01:32.228 --> 01:33.950
acceptance of its mission data

01:33.950 --> 01:36.150
processing framework on April 26th ,

01:36.160 --> 01:40.080
2024 increased cyber resilience in

01:40.089 --> 01:42.200
mission applications that bolster the

01:42.200 --> 01:43.978
Opir Battle Space Awareness and

01:43.980 --> 01:45.758
technical intelligence missions

01:45.849 --> 01:47.905
including enhanced missile detection

01:47.905 --> 01:50.209
and tracking was delivered to the Opir

01:50.220 --> 01:51.998
Battle Space Awareness Center .

01:54.519 --> 01:56.430
This includes modernized sensor

01:56.440 --> 01:58.709
processing and algorithms able to

01:58.720 --> 02:01.199
better detect and report dimmer and

02:01.209 --> 02:03.639
faster moving targets as well as track

02:03.650 --> 02:05.706
missile threats earlier and longer ,

02:05.889 --> 02:07.945
improving the event custody change .

02:10.369 --> 02:12.880
Looking ahead , the forged team will

02:12.889 --> 02:15.056
continue its progress towards building

02:15.056 --> 02:17.910
a government owned modular and open

02:17.919 --> 02:20.410
architecture , enabling us to leverage

02:20.419 --> 02:22.589
the latest industry innovations and

02:22.600 --> 02:25.070
rapidly respond to adversarial threats ,

02:25.309 --> 02:27.649
providing a secure future for our

02:27.660 --> 02:29.669
nation and allies .
