Data Exploitation
Abstract
Data exploitation efforts will exploit existing and future OPIR, environmental weather, and ground radar data sources including Defense Support Program (DSP), SBIRS HEO, SBIRS GEO Scanner, SBIRS GEO Starer, WFOV demonstration (launched 01 Jul 2022), Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites-R series (GOES-R) East/West, prototypes, and future program data sources. Exploitation efforts include RDT&E and integrating multiple sensor data through collection, processing, fusion, data dissemination, application and algorithm development and testing, network connectivity, and sensor performance assessments. SBIRS, WFOV and other space and ground-based sensors provide rich data sets for exploitation and fusion with the objective of filling sensor capability gaps in support of the new dim target threats. The SMI Data Exploitation TAP Lab provides researchers and developers access to raw and processed data and advanced DevSecOps (Development/Security/Operations) tools to develop applications and algorithms for delivery to the Buckley SFB OBAC in support of MW, MD, BA and TI mission areas. SMI data exploitation efforts are complementary to, and enhance, the exploitation capabilities delivered by the PoR and prototypes while pathfinding for future sensor PoRs. While performing data exploitation, the TAP Lab will serve as the primary software factory DevSecOps pipeline and subject matter experts to on-board new sensors into known operational fusion and correlation capabilities. SSC, SDA, and MDA will collaborate for future ground reference architecture for MEO and LEO that relies on sensors delivering formatted data to the Real-Time Transfer Service (RTS). Once published to the RTS, operational warning and defense software could then fuse and correlate data across sensors from all orbits to generate a 3D track. The 3D track will allow warning and defense operational systems to distribute and message appropriately. The TAP Lab will work with both the MEO MTC program office and SDA for early integration and testing using the FORGE framework. The TAP Lab is a critical piece in the future sensor proliferation as it provides a test and demo suite of resources to streamline sensor acceptance into certified warning and defense operations. Data exploitation efforts also evaluate tools for C2, mission management, and MDP to reduce risk to current and future programs. Data exploitation has also focused on pathfinding and evolving PoR ground systems to an open architecture framework. By incorporating C2, the TAP Lab offers the capability for launch and early orbit support as well operations and integration of future government owned, contractor operated OPIR prototypes. SMI ground system development activities seek to demonstrate the performance of an evolved ground system architecture capable of supporting multiple satellites, payloads, and missions through management and data processing. These efforts seek to lower operating costs with enhanced net-centric and service-oriented features with a new flexible expansion capability. Data exploitation efforts also support demonstration and prototype architecture planning and experimentation to include WFOV and other future sensor programs.
