Kay Sears, military space general manager and vice president at Lockheed Martin’s space division, has said threats posed by adversaries to U.S. space assets create “a perfect storm” that prompts the government and companies to rapidly build new space capabilities, National Defense reported Wednesday.

“We’ve got new organizations being formed to address the challenges. … We have an increasing threat environment,” Sears said during a panel discussion Wednesday at the MILCOM conference in Los Angeles.

“And so I think there is a significant change in behavior around space, and … that requires a corresponding change in behavior of all of us.”

Jamie Morgan, acting director for military satellite communications at Northrop Grumman’s aerospace systems business, discussed the revamped Space and Missile Systems Center and the need to establish a resilient space architecture.

Other panelists include Tony Gingiss, CEO of OneWeb Satellites; and Roger Teague, VP for space, intelligence and missile defense operations at Boeing.
