Global Sensor Manager News Today

After what Gen. Glen VanHerck called a "totally deceiving and incorrect" SPACECOM statement, there was widespread confusion about who is charged with the missile defense mission.

By bringing the three mission areas of missile warning, missile defense and space domain awareness under one command as the Global Sensor Manager, USSPACECOM can more effectively integrate and fuse the sensor data for rapid detection, characterization, tracking and dissemination to ensure theaters can defeat any threat,” said Gen. Jim Dickinson, SPACECOM commander.
