Space Situational Awareness Systems
Abstract
Space Situational Awareness (SSA) is knowledge of all aspects of space related to operations. As the foundation for space control, SSA encompasses intelligence on adversary space operations; surveillance of all space objects and activities; detailed reconnaissance of specific space assets; monitoring space environmental conditions; monitoring cooperative space assets; and conducting integrated command, control, communications, processing, analysis, dissemination, and archiving activities. This program element develops new Air Force sensors, and improved information capabilities for integration across the SSA network; it also includes developmental planning and technology forecasting for future blocks and emerging needs. A companion program element, 0305940F, Space Situational Awareness Operations, fields, upgrades, operates, and sustains existing sensors and information integration capabilities within the SSA network. An additional companion program element, 0305614F, JSpOC Mission System, processes surveillance of all space objects and activities, maintains detailed reconnaissance of space assets, fuses space data, maintains awareness of cooperative space assets, and allows JFCC-Space to conduct integrated C2 of space forces. Development activities are necessary to deploy new advanced sensors capable of finding, fixing, tracking, and reconnoitering the expanding number of debris objects on orbit as well as the increasing number of satellites launched by other nations, of which many are smaller and more capable than previous spacecraft. These activities are also required to better integrate the disparate elements of SSA in order to enable rapid, responsive space operations. The efforts in PE 0604425 are in Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration, because they are conducting development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirements prior to full-rate production.
