USSF Integrated Operations Network (ION)
Abstract
The ION will provide a secure, reliable, multi-classification transport layer to support space missions. ION will be a dynamic cloud-based software-defined mission network that integrates Space Force capabilities providing high bandwidth and low latency for essential capabilities including support to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Unified Data Library (UDL). The USSF Digital Engineering Ecosystem will be integrated into ION. Space Force discovered mission network infrastructure contained significant technology debt and is initiating ION to better prepare for Great Power Competition.
