The United States no longer consider reasonable pre-existing approaches to the development of a limited number of large satellites and large ground-based systems. The implementation of these goals took many years and a lot of money, now this is not true. The position of the Pentagon was announced by the assistant Secretary of the air force United States space Frank Calvelli.

In may 2022, Calvelli headed the Department responsible for the development of opportunities in the space sector and the purchase of equipment. Its position on the question of satellites and ground systems, he announced shortly after on public access appeared unclassified version of the national defense Strategy of the United States. This document is the need for US to create a sustainable satellite groups on the background of confrontation with Russia and China.

As stated in the Strategy in the space sector it is necessary to reduce the likelihood of early attacks of the enemy through the deployment of various constellations. Voiced by Calvelli the principles of acquiring satellites and systems can be called the defining landmarks of the space policy of the Pentagon in the near future.

In "the nine principles of Calvelli" includes:

the creation of satellites and ground systems of smaller size, which will accelerate their start and reduce costs;

the development of effective strategies of acquisition;

ensuring cooperation between different services and companies on contracts;

conclusion of executable contracts;

the stability of the program;

avoiding excessive classification;

prompt delivery terrestrial systems;

the involvement of the industry accountable for the commitments made earlier, including the schedule and costs;

providing working opportunities.

As you can see, most of the principles aimed at increasing the efficiency of the procurement system. In recent years, if not decades, the Pentagon has faced numerous obstacles. For example, suppliers are regularly disrupted the timing of orders, constantly raised the cost of the work, which required the approval of the new budget allocations. All these obstacles become in the context of growing international tension, potential risk factors.

Now the U.S. space command reinvents the ways of a military buildup in the space sector, preferring gradual but more frequent deliveries, rather than the traditional large and complex programs that require long periods of fulfillment and large financial costs.

It is possible that the implementation of the announced of Calvelli principles will lead to the fact that the facts of bureaucratic obstacles and unfair treatment by companies really will be less.
