National Space Defense Center

Abstract

This program element will develop Battle Management and Command and Control (BMC2) applications for the National Space Defense Center (NSDC) (formerly Joint Interagency Combined Space Operations Center (JICSpOC)). In addition, this element will develop hardware and software prototypes to support US Strategic Command Joint Emergent Operational Need (ST-0006) for an Accelerated BMC2 capability. The NSDC allows the national security space community to effectively respond to potential future space threat events and will have the capability to develop, test, and integrate new space system tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) in support of both DoD and Intelligence Community operations. The current and future space domain demands that space systems be responsive to new and changing threats, and can rapidly integrate new capabilities to make our warfighting force more resilient in a contested battlespace. This agility, survivability, and rapid reconstitution must extend through the entire space warfighting enterprise, to include how we learn about the threat; develop solutions; acquire, test, deploy, train, operate and integrate new systems into the greater system of systems; and ensure our space mission force is ready to defeat a thinking adversary in a complex, multi-domain battlespace. The enterprise will use all of its elements to accelerate decision-making, prototype potential solutions, rapidly integrate decision-making tools and sustain a war-winning capability by delivering multi-domain effects in, from, and through space and cyberspace enabling battle management and resilience options to "fight through." This program is Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrades systems and transition them to operations.
