  • Does the collection manager address sensors for change detection?
  • What is the collection priority of the request?
  • What website does the unit use for archived imagery?
  • Is archived imagery available and sufficient to meet the need?
  • Are there electromagnetic interference issues that might impact collection operations and how might
  the issues be mitigated?
  MISSILE WARNING
  11-40. Commanders and staffs consider and answer the following missile warning questions with respect to
  the space operations portion of the operations:
  • What is the threat missile capability?
  • What missile warning sensors or communications networks are available to the command?
  • How quickly does the operations center need the information?
  • How quickly does the information need to be disseminated?
  • What communications networks are available to handle voice or data warning reports?
  • Does the command need a separate voice or data system for missile warning?
  • Do the missile defense forces have their tactical receiver equipment filters set correctly to receive
  the integrated broadcast service or other missile warning?
  • Are there areas that could benefit from having terrestrial radar capable of providing missile warning?
  • Are resources available to correlate terrestrial radar and space-based warning data?
  ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
  11-41. Commanders and staffs consider and answer the following environmental monitoring questions with
  respect to the space operations portion of the operations:
  • What effects will space weather have on operations?
  • What effects will terrestrial weather have on data gathered and transmitted by space assets?
  • Does the G-2 or staff weather officer know how to get system-specific weather matrix?
  • Has the collections manager requested synthetic aperture radar for times of low visibility?
  SPACE CONTROL
  11-42. Commanders and staffs consider and answer the following space control questions with respect to the
  space operations portion of the operations:
  • How may space control capabilities can be used to defeat adversary antiaccess, area denial
  strategies?
  • What space control capabilities are necessary to enable forcible entry into an antiaccess, area denial
  environment?
  • How may the unit integrate space control capabilities in the tactical fight?
  • What are the appropriate echelons to employ space capabilities to ensure freedom of actions?
  • Are space control effects and counter operations incorporated into the multinational force
  commander’s operation plan during the planning phases?
  • How does each unit integrate space control operations, cyberspace operations, and electromagnetic
  warfare operations to achieve the desired effects?
  • Do the supported commands know how to detect PNT interference and navigation warfare
  indications?
  • Do the supported commands have specific TTPs to counter navigation warfare impacts?
  • To what degree does the adversary rely on GPS and dual-use technologies to ensure access to PNT?
  • To what extent will each unit operate in a denied, degraded, and disrupted space operational
  environment and still effectively accomplish the mission?
  • How does each unit ensure access to PNT capabilities in a denied, degraded, and disrupted space
  operational environment?
  • What asymmetric effects cross domains and operational boundaries (such as targeting of economic
  or civil infrastructure) that may cause each unit problems?
