National Space Defense Center

Abstract

The Department of the Air Force has determined this National Space Defense Center (NSDC) budget request will not transfer to the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Space Force appropriation as previously stated in the FY21 budget request. This program will provide systems engineering and architecture support for the NSDC's operational infrastructure integrating mission partner networks, data and other hardware and software solutions into NSDC's technical baseline. Additionally, this program will provide for agile requirements development, operational and developmental test activities, and technical support between program offices and the operations center, supporting software Development in Operations (DevOps). 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. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver NSDC capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392F and 1206398F. 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.
