When our customers or mission partners need eyes and ears in crucial places where no human can reach, they turn to the NRO. The NRO mission is to innovate overhead intelligence systems for national security. Since 1961, the NRO has been striving to create the latest innovations in satellite technology, contracting with the most cost-efficient industrial supplier, conducting rigorous launch schedules, or providing the highest-quality products to our customers.
Key customers and mission partners, such as the Armed Services, depend on the NRO for unique capabilities too;
• Monitor the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
• Track international terrorists, drug traffickers, and criminal organizations
• Develop highly accurate military targeting data and bomb damage
assessments
• Support international peacekeeping and humanitarian relief operations
• Assess the impact of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods,
and fires.
Innovation by the NRO has inspired technology for use in everyday life in areas such as global communications, global positioning systems (GPS), and cellular phones. The NRO provides policymakers, analysts, warfighters, and many others the critical information required to keep America safe.
