According to senior Space Systems Command (SSC) officials, the Space Force expects to choose a developer in June 2023 for its nascent Digital Bloodhound program. The program is intended to improve the detection of cyber threats to space ground systems.
SSC’s program executive officer for space domain awareness and combat power, Brigadier General Tim Sejba, said the project is an acknowledgment that cyber defense is required across the military’s entire space infrastructure, whether in orbit or on the ground.
“If we’re gonna protect and defend the architecture, it can’t be just something that we do against just the space threat. It’s got to be against the holistic threat of both space and cyber,” he stated at the Space Industry Days conference in Los Angeles.
He added that “defensive cyber operations and capabilities” are part of the SSC/SZ approach “so that we really do protect and defend the entire mission and the architecture against threats from both.”
