The Pentagon's Space Development Agency is struggling to get going and recruit talent

The Trump administration's plans to overhaul military space operations is well underway with a new warfighting headquarters in the U.S. Space Command and bipartisan support in Congress for establishing a dedicated Space Force within the Air Force.

“We definitely have more evangelizing to do to educate people to make sure they understand the mission,” Tournear, who also serves as the assistant director for space for the undersecretary of Defense for research and engineering, told POLITICO. “What they need to realize now is that, on those other programs that may look duplicative to SDA, SDA is working with them to make sure that their programs get integrated into an overall architecture.

We're accountable. We have to provide all of those capabilities, but we're not responsible for building all those out. That's a key differentiator. So for example, the transport layer, that's the layer that provides our ... network that's going to enable us to do communication all across the board. We're accountable and responsible for building that out.

What are you saying to lawmakers who aren't supportive of the SDA and think it duplicates existing offices within the Pentagon?
