Transport Layer Architecture and Standards

Abstract

The Space Technology Development and Prototyping effort will develop and demonstrate a prototype proliferated Low Earth Orbit (pLEO) data transport layer and its sub-constellations to provide the eight capabilities outlined in the DoD Space Vision. The SDA will rapidly develop and field the next generation space architecture that will enable the US to deploy space capabilities that out-pace adversarial threats. This architecture is underpinned by a common satellite buses, common interfaces between payloads to the bus, and common data interfaces and standards. The SDA will develop these standards for high power and lower power buses. SDA will develop standard interfaces across these two classes of satellite buses. SDA, in collaboration with other Space Stakeholders, will develop communication standards, and a ground architecture including user equipment that supports satellites utilizing these standardized products.
