Relay Ground Stations (RGSs)

Abstract

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 two additional RGSs that will use common hardware capable of supporting all Next Gen-OPIR space assets. This effort will provide data to the MCS for processing and dissemination to warfighters and National Command Authorities. The RGS modernization effort will include the ability to operate antennas, process data, and support older DSP assets. This activity is for RGS's not included in the RGS-A portion of the FORGE - RGS architecture.
