Next Gen Interim Operations (NIO)

Abstract

This is not a New Start. This thrust was previously justified under the effort titled Next Gen OPIR Ground, but has been broken out for transparency. The NIO effort is a risk reduction effort for FORGE. It is being developed simultaneously with the full Next-Gen OPIR Ground efforts in order to ensure the most critical ground processing is ready in time for the first Next-Gen OPIR satellite launch. It will provide the ability to perform limited processing of the data from the NGG asset using the FORGE solutions. The NIO solution will create mono tracks and publish those mono tracks to the existing SBIRS Block 20 ground system for fusion and dissemination to the warfighter. NIO follows a similar paradigm utilized for processing the initial HEO and GEO assets where HEO Mono Tracks (HMTs) and GEO Mono Tracks (GMTs) were fused outside of the operational baseline.
