Service Support to SPACECOM Activities

Abstract

The Space Analysis and Application Development program integrates space based effects into Department's ‘Model of Record' for joint campaign analysis. Current modeling and simulation [M&S] models are inadequate to represent the contribution that U.S space capabilities make to the air, sea, and land fight and do not accurately portray current and future space threats. This line of effort integrates effects of space capabilities into mission and campaign-level M&S tools. Enhanced space M&S will enable the DoD to make informed decisions regarding the direction of U.S. Space Doctrine, Tactics, Techniques, Procedures, and Resource Decisions. The DoD requires the ability to conduct campaign-level analysis to quantify the holistic operational impacts of adversary space actions on military campaigns and U.S. global operations. Navigation Warfare [NAVWAR] is deliberate defensive and offensive action to assure and prevent positioning, navigation, and timing [PNT] information through coordinated employment of space, cyberspace, and electronic warfare [EW] operations. Funds are used to create and maintain NAVWAR knowledge and ensure NAVWAR superiority across the DoD. IAW the most recent Unified Command Plan, USSPACECOM is responsible for [a] [U] Advocating for requirements and capabilities supporting NAVWAR operations and joint resilient PNT for the DoD, and [b] [U] Providing contingency and operations support to CCMDs for NAVWAR and joint resilient PNT planning. USSPACECOM will research, develop, test, assess and evaluate NAVWAR options IOT advocate across Services and the other CCMDs to achieve PNT overmatch. Funds are used to create and maintain NAVWAR knowledge. NAVWAR expertise is developed in part by execution of PNT Operational Field Assessments [POFAs] that assess Red and Blue PNT-related capabilities, limitations, and vulnerabilities. GYPSY POFA's are linked to Commander USSPACECOM's Joint Exercise Program [JEP] and nested within the Chairman's Exercise Program [CEP]and Combatant Commander's [CCMD] Tier 1 exercises [PACIFIC SENTRY AND AUSTERE CHALLENGE are examples] and provide operationally realistic threat-representative, PNT-contested environments for analytical assessment of air, ground, maritime, space & cyberspace mission capability. FORTUNE POFAs are PNT capability and vulnerability assessments associate with a Service exercise or mission event. PRISM POFAs encompass all other Operations, Actions, and Activities [OAAs] and other assessments to include evaluation of rapid innovative NAVWAR capabilities and/or solutions. Assessments inform materiel and non-materiel solutions, service acquisition decisions, capability gaps, intelligence gaps and tactics, techniques and procedures [TTP] development and implementation to mitigate effects on warfighter operations in the anticipated theater NAVWAR threat environments. JNWC assesses department wide PNT posture through the PNT Biennial assessment IAW DoDI 4650.08. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Space Analysis and Application Development capability. The use of such programs funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY2022 $0 was expended and in FY2023 $0 is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
