Space Innovation, Integration and Rapid Technology Development

Abstract

The Space Innovation, Integration, and Rapid Technology Development (SIIRTD) program element delivers enterprise capabilities and solutions to help field combat-ready forces and secure space domain superiority in an evolving threat environment. Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) delivers operationally and tactically relevant and realistic enterprise space training capabilities via a system-of-systems architecture to generate, assess, and sustain readiness levels demanded by the current and emerging strategic threat environment in accordance with the USSF Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Strategic Requirements Document (SRD). This architecture includes multi-mission collaborative training systems and platforms; networks; modeling and simulation tools; and training services required to conduct High-End Advanced Test, Training and Tactics (HEAT3) development for the USSF and mission partners representative of combat with potential adversaries. Space Analysis and Application Development (SA&AD) develops and modifies modeling and simulation tools that USSF/Space Operations Command uses for operational analysis and assessment. Provides operational assessments using analytic rigor to tackle senior leader questions associated with "tonight's” all-domain fight using Combatant Command OPORDS. Leads assessments on space operations, security cooperation activities, and the COMSPACEFOR component space plans while also performing business analytics to develop digital HQ data standards and tools. 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. Operationalize the state of the art in digital tools, modeling, simulation and analysis. These efforts are laying the framework for the Space Force's digital future to include anomaly detection and AI automation and alerts on spacecraft and ops floors across the Service. SIIRTD projects counter known and emerging threats, enable USSF and joint warfighters to realize the full potential of existing and planned space capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver ETSD and SA&AD training system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF. 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.
