Acquire Infrastructure - RD-0001

Adversaries assemble the people, platforms, and plumbing they will later use to observe, reach, or impersonate mission components. Infrastructure spans RF and optical ground assets (antennas, modems, timing sources, front-ends), compute and storage (on-prem and cloud), network presence (leased ASNs/IP space, VPS fleets, CDN relays), identity fabric (burner accounts, domains, certificates), and fabrication/test environments for hardware and software. They favor assets that are inexpensive, deniable, and geographically diverse, mixing self-hosted gear with commercial services and compromised third-party systems. To support spacecraft operations, they may build SDR-based labs that replicate waveforms and framing, stage command/telemetry tooling behind traffic mixers, and pre-position data pipelines for collection and analysis. The objective is persistence and flexibility: the ability to pivot between reconnaissance, delivery, and command with minimal attribution risk.
