WEBVTT 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 .
