About this report
NATO and EU planners have identified space-based Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) as a critical operational need in the face of increasingly sophisticated threats. The “Joint ISR Constellation Projects” line of effort within the strategic priority of Space Security & Space Resilience is designed to ensure that Allied forces can obtain timely, persistent intelligence from space to support decision-making and military operations.
The rationale stems from a convergence of factors: the growing reliance of Allied deterrence and defence on space assets, adversaries’ advances in counter-space capabilities, and lessons from recent conflicts.
