Space Control Technology
Abstract
This program supports a range of activities including technology planning, development, demonstrations and prototyping, as well as modeling, simulations and exercises to support development of tactics and procedures in the Space Control mission area. The types of Space Control activities accomplished are Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Defensive Counterspace (DCS), Offensive Counterspace (OCS) and Command and Control (C2) and Battle Management. SSA includes monitoring, detecting, identifying, tracking, assessing, verifying, categorizing, and characterizing, objects and events in space and includes terrestrial based space capabilities. DCS includes defensive activities to protect U.S. and friendly space-systems assets, resources, and operations from enemy attempts to negate or interfere and prevention activities that limit or eliminate an adversary's ability to use U.S. space systems and services for purposes hostile to U.S. national security interests. OCS activities disrupt, deny, degrade or destroy space systems, or the information and the technology they provide, which may be used for purposes hostile to U.S. national security interests. Command & Control efforts include identifying technology solutions to enable fusion of data for use in multi-level security environments, and near-real-time data delivery and decision support to warfighter needs. This program supports the development of Rapid Reaction Capabilities in response to immediate warfighter needs, including Urgent Operational Needs (UONs) and Joint Urgent Operational Needs (JUONs), in the Space Control mission area. These projects are in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P) because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment. The FY2016 funding request was reduced by -$.739M to account for the availability of prior execution balances.
