The GSM Support contract provides Advisory and Assistance Support (A&AS) to the United States Space Command (USSPACECOM)/J31, Global Sensor Management Division. The GSM initiative provides A&AS to USSPACECOM and their supported Combatant Commands (CCMD), US European Command (USEUCOM), US Central Command (USCENTCOM), and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM). SES and their sub-contractors will provide technical support to the GSM Division staff in the day-to- day functions, roles, and responsibilities of the GSM, as well as the Missile Warning Functional Manager’s Office (MW FMO). The GSM has responsibility for generating globally informed risk decisions and recommendations regarding sensor Command and Control (C2) and in the prioritization in the employment of assigned and unassigned Space Domain Awareness (SDA), Missile Warning (MW), and Missile Defense (MD) sensors in optimizing support of all mission areas, national priorities, and decision making.

In addition, the GSM division supports providing Shared Early Warning (SEW) missile warning data to CCMD-sponsored partner nations. SEW is a sub-set of TMW.
