BUCKLEY SPACE FORCE BASE, Color —

Members of Team Buckley participate in a ribbon cutting, commemorating the dedication of the new Persistent Infrared (OPIR) Battlespace Awareness Center on July 5, 2023, in the Mission Control Station at Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado.

This ribbon cutting opened the door to a new space operations plan that will provide the 11th Space Warning Squadron with a progressive work environment that will contain capabilities such as Space Awareness and Global Exploitation (SAGE), Strategic Operationally Agile Response (SOAR) and Future Operationally Resilient Soil Evolution (FORGE).

“These capabilities represent a leap forward in the detection, identification and tracking of next-generation adversary weapon systems, increase the exploitation of technical intelligence data, and strengthen post-event analysis of complex events,” said Colonel Miguel Cruz, commander of Space Delta 4.

While the Space Force is still in its infancy, events such as the advancement of operations plan capabilities are indicative of the steps the Space Force is taking to advance and refine global space operations on a day-to-day basis.

The new Space Operations Plan will give the Guardians access to more advanced weapon systems that will enable them to enhance operations that strengthen how joint and coalition forces fight.

“The OPIR Battlespace Awareness Center will push the envelope on the exploitation of OPIR data and this could not come at a better time to address a variety of emerging threats,” said Lt. Col. Michael Hall, commander of the 11th Space Warning Squadron. “So lucky to be a Knight and be a part of this new epic operational floor build!”
