U.S. BASIC satellite system announcement expected this week
The Broad Area Surveillance Intelligence Capability (BASIC) satellite system is aimed at filling gaps in the government’s surveillance. The plan calls for government owned and managed satellites. The program has been delayed as agencies argued about who’ll run the program (the National Reconnaissance Office, NRO, won) and who’d have say over what pictures are taken (senior military leaders won that one).
