Purposeful Interference Response Team

Overview
The Purposeful Interference Response Team (PIRT) is the U.S. Government lead for space operations and the operators of the primary U.S. Government 24-hour operations center for space situational awareness. PIRT is an interagency coordination group designed to bring together SMEs from across the U.S. Government to evaluate reports of suspected purposeful interference (PI) that impacts U.S. Government space systems, commercial and foreign systems providing services to the U.S. Government, and other U.S. commercial and allied space systems and services of interest to the U.S. Government.

PIRT serves as an investigative and coordinating body to ensure all relevant U.S. Government agencies have access to the same information and key analytical documents to develop resolution options, and formalizes and facilitates existing processes and relationships.
