SPACECOM pushes fused missile warning/defense tracking with automation

SPACECOM leadership argues missile warning and missile defense must be fused into a single missile-tracking enterprise to handle maneuvering/hypersonic threats, leveraging SDA tracking satellite constellations and MDA battle management. The novel element is the shift toward integrated sensor tasking and faster, more automated decision loops (man-on-the-loop) to enable layered interceptors using shared tracks.
