Technology Maturation
Abstract
Assess technology needs to support resiliency of PoR assets and future architectures that are responsive to the evolving threat environment. Perform trade and design studies to assess obsolescence, affordability, capability design modifications, and concept of operations (CONOPS) for the OPIR mission. Mature technologies and manufacturability to reduce cost, schedule, and technical risk for new component and subsystem designs that may be used in the future systems. Mature technologies including algorithms, Focal Plane Arrays (FPA), optical filters, on-board processors, auxiliary resiliency payloads, and other payload components for future missile warning satellites, and reconstitution capabilities. Develop modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities, and engineering model prototypes for hardware/software integration and testing. These efforts will reduce risk and mature technologies applicable to future systems and architectures. Additionally, develop test beds to validate/verify requirements and ensure technical maturity for next-generation payload technologies as well as threat mitigation components and techniques. As a result of the SWAC AoA and Force Design, several key technologies areas were highlighted to execute the MEO/LEO pivot. A detailed manufacturability study was conducted in coordination with the SWAC during the AoA that recommend several critical technology maturation areas.
