Space Innovation, Integration and Rapid Technology Development
Abstract
The Space Innovation, Integration, and Rapid Technology Development (SIIRTD) delivers enterprise capabilities and solutions to maintain space domain superiority in an evolving environment. Enterprise Training Services Development delivers enterprise space training capabilities via a system-of-systems architecture. This architecture includes collaborative systems / platforms, networks, modeling and simulation tools, and training services necessary for a full spectrum of interoperable, on-demand, multi-mission training capabilities to meet USSF and mission partner requirements. Development activities include planning, designing, building, and fielding new and enhanced systems / tools into the overall architecture to ensure USSF enterprise readiness to fight in any scenario. The SIIRTD program also develops and modifies modeling and simulation tools that USSF/Space Operations Command's Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC) uses for operations research, military utility analyses, tradeoff studies, and other evaluations of space mission areas to guide planning, programming, requirements generation, analyses of alternatives, and other activities. Development activities incorporate changes in fielded and projected space operational capabilities, as well as technical improvements, into the group's software tools to ensure their data and technology remain current. SIIRTD projects continuously evaluate ways to increase innovation and resiliency to counter known and emerging threats through: technology risk reduction efforts; integrating new capabilities and / or repurpose existing capabilities; implementing enterprise decision-making tools/experimentation/rapid prototyping; and fielding enterprise solutions via all appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms. Its innovation, education, and training activities foster solutions to operational deficiencies and enhance the integration of space systems, enabling USSF and joint warfighters to realize the full potential of existing and planned space capabilities. 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.

- FY 2022: -$0.622M SBIR adjustment. FY2023: +$7.2M Congressional Add for operational test and training infrastructure - fully fund standard space training for current and emerging missions. -$0.100M FFRDC reduction. FY 2024: -$0.259M to realign funding to APPN 3410, PE 1207804SF (SAG 13C), for fiscal policy compliance as Space Systems Command (SSC) establishes Headquarters functions and a Chief Information Office (CIO) for integrated cybersecurity. The FY 2024 funding request was reduced by $7.701M to account for the availability of prior year execution balances.
