About Richard Payne
With a proven track record in strategic defense leadership, my role as Deputy Director at OUSD I&S involves overseeing the integration and policy development of air and space intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. Through the successful merger of three teams, our organization now benefits from a streamlined structure, enhancing our operational effectiveness and policy guidance in support of national security. Within my tenure, I\'ve led directorate teams to engage stakeholders and align DoD air and space intelligence programs with the National Defense Strategy. My ability to navigate complex organizational challenges and coordinate solutions across multiple departments demonstrates my commitment to maintaining program integrity and advancing the interests of our defense community.
