Roger Mason, President Trump's pick to lead the National Reconnaissance Office, testified June 2 in front of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
WASHINGTON — Roger Mason, President Trump’s nominee to lead the National Reconnaissance Office, told senators that the nation’s spy satellite agency is navigating a period of rapid innovation in commercial space and artificial intelligence that is transforming space-based intelligence.
Appearing June 2 before the Senate Intelligence Committee for his confirmation hearing, Mason described the National Reconnaissance Office, or NRO, as being in the midst of a transformation driven by commercial innovation, growing volumes of intelligence data and increasing threats to U.S. assets in space.
“We are in a space renaissance where the pace of technology advancement, speed of innovation and promise of the future has drawn unprecedented investments,” Mason said.
Mason, currently chief growth officer at V2X Corp., would succeed Christopher Scolese, who has led the NRO since 2019.
