Space Protection and Survivability
Abstract
SSDP organizes, plans, and executes specific projects in three focus areas: Enterprise Capabilities & Solutions; Mission Area Protection Concepts & Architectures; and Operational Tactics, Experiments & Prototypes. Enterprise Capabilities & Solutions projects focus on identifying and advocating for NSS enterprise-level protection requirements and architecture updates/modifications, informing/assisting policy-makers and analyzing policy to enhance the space protection posture across the NSS Enterprise. Mission Area Protection Concepts & Architectures projects constitute Protect and Defend (P&D) efforts focused on specific mission areas and/or systems. These projects entail the specific technical efforts, activities and engagements supporting capability and architecture development in mission areas such as Space Control, Command and Control (C2), Satellite Communication (SATCOM), Position-Navigation and Timing (PNT), Missile Warning (MW), Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Indications and Warning (I&W), and Intelligence - Surveillance - Reconnaissance (ISR). Finally, Operational Tactics, Experiments & Prototypes projects leverage operations expertise, experimentation and prototyping to improve operational capabilities and develop, refine, document and demonstrate Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs), Concepts of Operation (CONOPS), and associated C2 functions. Some of these projects hold the potential to leave-behind residual operational prototypes/capabilities when partnered with the appropriate mission organization. Additionally, these projects will support development of TTPs and CONOPS for protection solutions developed by SSDP partners across the NSS Enterprise. Projects in all three areas will include non-kinetic solutions for protecting specific capabilities and the NSS Enterprise.
