Space Test
Abstract
The space domain has become a competitive, congested, and contested environment dominated by global economics and key to national security. With the creation of the United States Space Force, the Department of Defense (DoD) is prioritizing investments to maintain space superiority and increase resiliency of space systems. Current testing infrastructure and methodologies to assess space system resilience against emerging threats is limited. The Space Test (ST) project mission is to address national test capability gaps by providing accurate, robust, and efficient T&E solutions to successfully develop, validate, and inform the employment of new space control systems. The ST project addresses test technology needs for adequate realism for space systems and aligns with the DoD S&T priority investments and is developing a strategic roadmap and investment strategy to establish live and virtual range environments, develop space and ground-based threat emulation capabilities. The ST project seeks to develop technologies that will enable robust, accurate, and timely T&E of future space weapon systems
