Launch and Test Range (LTRS) Software Modernization, called Delta-V
Abstract
Continuation of a permanent modification to the Launch and Test Range System (LTRS) ACAT III-equivalent program baseline, the Delta-V program will execute the USSFs spaceport & test range software and IT infrastructure modernization portfolio. The program will service software and infrastructure requirements for both the Eastern Range (Cape Canaveral SFS, FL) and the Western Range (Vandenberg SFB, CA). "Delta-V", is a reference to a concept in spacecraft flight dynamics symbolizing a change (Delta, symbolized by a Greek letter in engineering and aerodynamics) in speed and direction (Velocity, symbolized by "V”) from the current state. As its name suggests, Delta-V aims to continuously improve the quality and rate of software capability delivery to space launch and test range operations. The two primary thrusts of the program will be to (1) enable the modernization of existing range software & IT infrastructure and (2) to establish and operate a software factory to build/buy and operationally maintain and sustain spaceport and test range software systems. The program was funded initially in FY 2023 and FY 2024 within the LTRS Range Technology Integration Major Thrust area. Total funding in FY 2023 allocated to Delta-V is 1.774M and in FY 2024 planned funding to Delta-V is $2.600M. Rapidly respond to implement system resiliency and situational awareness necessary to operate in the contested space domain. Activities may include, but are not limited to program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial and international opportunities.
