Army Space Systems Integration

Abstract

The program element funds space systems integration efforts performed by the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/ Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) and the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S). USASMDC/ARSTRAT: Headquarters, Department of the Army General Order Number 37, dated 16 October 2006, designated USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the Army proponent for space and ground-based midcourse defense (GMD), the Army integrator for global missile defense, and the Army Service Component Command of U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM). As such, USASMDC/ARSTRAT is responsible to develop warfighting concepts, conduct warfighting experiments to validate those concepts, identify capabilities needed to implement the validated concepts, and develop Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership & Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF) solutions to realize those space related capabilities. Army Regulation (AR) 10-87 Army Commands, Army Service Component Commands, and the Direct Reporting Units, dated 4 September 2007 and AR 5-22 The Army Force Modernization Proponent System dated 19 August 2009 designates USASMDC/ARSTRAT as the Army specified proponent for Global Missile Defense and Space/High Altitude Capabilities. Project #990 funds USASMDC/ARSTRAT to mature warfighting concepts, and validate concepts, identify capabilities need to implement the validated concepts, and develop DOTMLPF solutions to realize those space and high altitude related capabilities. Also sustains Joint Friendly Force Tracking (J-FFT) Mission Management Center and its associated testbed for both operations and spiral development for 24/7 Friendly Force Tracking integration into a real-time common operating picture for Combatant Commanders, Joint Task Force Commanders and Coalition partners. Project # 978 funds Space Control capabilities. The PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEW&S) is the Milestone Decision Authority for the Project 978 Space Control Materiel Development Effort. This effort is utilizing competitive prototyping to develop a forward-deployed platform to generate, receive, monitor, analyze and store satellite communications in direct support of the ground force Commander. System mobility (using government-off-the-shelf (GOTS) tactical vehicles such as the potential Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) or Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)) will enable the system to move to positions of geographical advantage to establish and maintain assured space data access and information superiority in support of Brigade tactical operations. As the Army Proponent for Space, the Commander, US Army Space and Missile Command/ Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT), stated that this Acquisition Program has a higher priority than any other space control investment.
