EGS will result in a more resilient, cost-effective ground architecture that is more robust, provides for enhanced space situational awareness (SSA) and will integrate with the Air Force's Enterprise Space Battle Management Command and Control system (BMC2) now being developed. Two other SEV components focus on a new, more resilient space architecture and a more responsive satellite launch capability.
