About Walter Payne
A highly qualified analytical professional with substantial experience providing joint operational support. Accomplished space/counterspace intelligence professional with 20+ years of government experience, providing support at the National Intelligence Community (IC)/Defense and Combatant Command levels. Recipient of the coveted Office of the National Director National Intelligence award for support towards the 2016 Space/Counterspace National Intelligence estimate. Identified intelligence gap and identified national R&D system to mitigate gap which ultimately led to the system gaining ‘program of record’ status. Recognized by Secretary of Defense for exemplary performance. I have a great passion for long-term planning in the S&T realm by remaining abreast of current and future threat systems. I take great care in establishing and maintain exceptional rapport with members of the IC. I have extensive experience with all-source space intelligence threats, national security, requirements (collection and production), physical security, training, and mentorship.
