Space Survivability & Surveillance
Abstract
This project develops the technologies to exploit the space environment for warfighter's future capabilities. The project focuses on characterizing and forecasting the battlespace environment for realistic space system design, modeling, and simulation, as well as the battlespace environment's effect on space systems' performance. It includes technologies to specify and forecast the environment from "mud to sun" for planning operations and ensuring uninterrupted system performance, optimize space-based surveillance operations, and allow the opportunity to mitigate or exploit the space environment for both offensive and defensive operations. Finally, this project includes the seismic research program that supports national requirements for monitoring nuclear explosions.
