Space Superiority Intelligence

Abstract

Provides Electronic Support (ES) for key find, fix, track, target, engage and assess (F2T2EA) requirements supporting Space Superiority activities. Additionally, funding provides for developmental intelligence collection to support new capability acquisition and development. This program element funds transportable intelligence collection and analysis capabilities that are modular (plug-and-play), and can keep pace with technological advances and emerging threats. It provides intelligence support systems for Space Situational Awareness activities that provide the requisite current and predictive knowledge of space events and threat conditions and intelligence support to Space Protection Programs by providing architectural survivability analyses of critical mission assets for mission assurance. Additionally, funding supports phased threat system analysis and studies (A&S), test support, lab equipment, and Material Acquisition and Exploitation (MAE) for system development and vulnerability/susceptibility assessments to support tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) development. Also funded are future threat technology studies necessary for mission area success and achievement of space superiority, helping preserve the US space advantage across all domains. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because it includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the curent or subsequent fiscal year.
