What we do

Space impacts virtually every aspect of our daily lives.  The space security environment is at a critical juncture, and commercial industry has played an increasingly prominent role in providing space capabilities for national security.  U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM) seeks to leverage commercial capabilities to achieve our goals of mitigating capability gaps, improving space architecture resiliency, and gaining and maintaining technological advances over our competitors. 

 
The USSPACECOM Capability and Resource Integration Directorate (J8) advocates for capabilities and funding in support of the Command’s mission requirements.  The U.S. commercial sector is driving technological advancements that provide our Nation, Allies, and partners a distinct advantage over our competitors.  Our imperative is to pursue solutions that deter and overcome any threat to space and space-based capabilities.  Many of these solutions are found in the partnerships we forge with commercial industry. 
 
The J8’s Commercial Integration Branch is responsible for engaging with industry, implementing the USSPACECOM Commercial Integration Strategy, and facilitating integration of commercial capabilities into ongoing operations to enable USSPACECOM objectives.  The Branch’s Industry Engagement Team is the point of entry and interface for informing industry of USSPACECOM priorities, coordinating engagements with the Command’s senior leaders, and performing outreach with industry partners.
