	Space as a Means Not an End in Itself
		U.S. Air Force Gen. John Jumper, the service’s top uniformed official, has a reputation among military space advocates as someone who is less than friendly to their cause.
		For example, Jumper has said in the past that he would rather take money set aside for work on a planned constellation of radar satellites for ground surveillance and buy more of the aircraft that perform that mission today.
		Jumper, a pilot and a former flight instructor, responds by saying that his critics should worry more about winning wars and less about protecting pet programs.

		Leading off Defense News Media Group’s ISR Integration Conference: “Shrinking the Sensor-to-Shooter Cycle,” Jumper acknowledged that it will be difficult for the military services to move away from their heavy focus on programs and platforms.

		Despite his service’s efforts to radically change the way it funds programs, Jumper acknowledged that there is no single organization responsible for some of the service’s most pressing problems: integrating its myriad intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance assets — manned and unmanned, on the ground, in the air and in space.
