Space Justification Book (SJB)

 

"The following
seven sections 
summarize 
selected programs 
... more  detailed
data will be 
available in the
SJB itself."

   The reference document for DoD space programs will be the ODUSD(S)'s Space Justification Book (SJB), being developed for the first time this year. That document will contain detailed programmatic and budgetary information, up to the SECRET level, on space-related programs grouped under eight Office of Management and Budget (OMB) program/budget categories. A ninth category, Mapping, currently has no DoD funding. (Two additional categories, Intelligence and Missile Defense, are managed by other government agencies.)There is no explicit cross-walk between operational missions and specific DoD programs as several mission objectives are or will be met by multiple and/or non-DoD space programs, both domestic and foreign, and other mission objectives do not yet have programs in place to achieve them.

   The summary figure below and the more detailed figure on the next page illustrate the mission-program correlation followed.



Introduction to Program Areas

   This document complements the SJB by addressing, at the UNCLASSIFIED level, a few of the key DoD programs and functional areas whose issues and initiatives currently require focused management and planning at the Departmental level. The preceding sections have discussed the major organization, policy and activities that are driving the management of defense space. The following seven sections summarize selected programs and the information that supports those discussions; more detailed data will be available in the SJB itself.

   The programmatic information that follows is derived from the President's Budget for FY 1998 - 2003, and all funding is in current (i.e., then-year) dollars.
