The National Reconnaissance Office is leading one of the most ambitious architectural transformations in intelligence history. In the last two years, the NRO has deployed more than 200 satellites. This increases both mission performance and architectural resilience in the face of growing threats around the world. As the Deputy Director of the NRO and Commander of the Space Force Element to the NRO, Maj Gen Christopher Povak serves two vital roles in securing access to vital space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance data. Join the Mitchell Institute’s discussion with Gen Povak for an informative look at dramatic transformation occurring within the NRO.
