JSpOC Mission System

Abstract

Overall, the program will continue risk reduction engineering and focus on incremental releases (Information Technology BOX construct) to deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment and tools to progressively advance operational capabilities toward an integrated JSpOC Mission System (JMS). This program will produce a net-centric collaborative environment, enhance and modernize space surveillance capabilities, create decision relevant views of the space environment, and enable efficient distribution of data across the space surveillance network. JMS is responsible for Space Situational Awareness (SSA) and command and control (C2) of space forces. SSA includes the knowledge of all aspects of space related to operations to thoroughly assess threats to U.S. space assets and develop options, military and diplomatic, to counter them and to establish contingency plans to ensure U.S. forces can maintain access to space assets. JMS will access intelligence on adversary space operations, process surveillance of all space objects and activities, maintain detailed reconnaissance of specific space assets; fuse space environmental data, maintain awareness of cooperative space assets; and allow the Joint Functional Component Command for Space (JFCC-Space) to conduct space forces integrated command, control, communications, processing, analysis, dissemination, and archiving activities. Near-term focus is to provide a sustainable net-centric environment with a highly accurate, responsive, and robust SSA system migration from the rapidly aging, and sustainment challenged Space Defense Operations Center (SPADOC) system (SPADOC design end of life was 2002). JMS will provide integrated space knowledge/information for the Command, JFCC-Space to plan, direct, coordinate, and control operations of assigned forces. JMS will provide the ability to: monitor status, activities, and environment for assigned/attached space forces; assess how space forces support the battle space, provide impacts of changes to force status, and impacts of enemy forces on space assets; plan space operations to support theater and national operations; and execute Joint space tasking, track task performance, adapt tasking to changing situations, and conduct technology forecasting for emerging needs. JMS will also develop improved information capabilities for integration across SSA sensors through data exposure accomplished via the Net Centric Sensors and Data Sources effort (BPAC A012) in the SSA Systems PE (0604425F). This program is in Budget Activity 07, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal years.
