GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. — On July 31, 2026, the U.S. Space Force’s Space Delta 7 officially activated the 77th Surveillance Squadron (77 SURS), marking a critical advancement in the Department of War’s ability to track global threats from space, the ultimate high ground.

This capability immediately enhances our global combatant commands, giving them the vital battlespace awareness needed to make decisions at speed and hold any adversary at risk.” Powered by the Space-Based Sensing and Targeting (SBST) program, SB-MTI will utilize a constellation of…
