Relay Ground Stations (RGSs)

Abstract

This is not a New Start. This thrust was previously justified under the effort titled Next Gen OPIR Ground, but has been broken out for transparency. OPIR data collected in space must be relayed to ground entry points and routed to provide warfighters with timely information. The legacy SBIRS ground architecture requires RGS upgrades and new RGSs to receive OPIR data from legacy and future Next-Gen OPIR assets. This effort expands the set of RGSs to include up to three RGSs that will use common hardware capable of supporting both GEO and Polar assets. This effort will and provide data to the Mission Control Station for processing and dissemination to warfighters and National Command Authorities. The RGS modernization effort will include the ability to operate antennas, process data, and integrate to support older Defense Support Program (DSP) assets.
