Counterspace Systems

Abstract

This program supports the conduct of critical planning, technology insertion, and system acquisition in support of Air Force space control systems and associated command and control development to meet current and future military space control needs. Development and acquisition of counterspace systems will be conducted, capitalizing on the technology development and risk reduction efforts of PE 0603438F, Space Control Technology. This funding supports all development phases of the acquisition process including concept development, risk reduction, design, and demonstration. Space control systems include both offensive counterspace (OCS) and defensive counterspace (DCS) systems. OCS systems include the means to disrupt, deny, degrade, or destroy an adversary's space systems, or the information they provide, which may be used for purposes hostile to U.S. national security interests. DCS systems include both active and passive measures to protect U.S. and friendly space related capabilities (satellites, communications links, and supporting ground systems) from enemy attack or interference. This includes development efforts to prevent adversarial ability to use U.S. space systems and services for purposes hostile to U.S. national security interests. Counterspace Command and Control ( C2) supports the development of command and control and mission planning capabilities in support of the fielding and employment of counterspace systems. This program is in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration, because it supports the demonstration, engineering and manufacturing development of counterspace and space control systems.
