# USSF Prepares Next-Gen OPIR Integration

The U.S. Space Force has retired its Defense Support Program (DSP) satellite constellation and is preparing to integrate the Next-Generation OPIR Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (NGG) system into missile warning and tracking operations. The transition signals continuing demand for space- and ground-based sensing, system integration, operational testing, and training support, but the announcement identifies no solicitation, contract value, or acquisition schedule.

- Contractors with capabilities in space-based sensing, ground systems integration, operational testing, or training can assess how their offerings align with NGG integration and missile warning operations.
- No specific procurement is announced; companies can use Space Systems Command and Combat Forces Command announcements as the stated sources for future acquisition information.
