Technology Insertion Planning and Analysis
Abstract
This project supports a range of activities including systems engineering, technology planning, development, demonstrations and prototyping, and testing, as well as modeling, simulations and exercises to support development and maturation of tactics and procedures for a responsive and resilient Space Control mission area. This includes technology development and prototyping for Defensive Counterspace (DCS) and Offensive Counterspace (OCS) and the necessary systems engineering for the warfighter to effectively employ such systems. Specifically supported are DCS and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) activities, which include developing threat warning payloads for monitoring, detecting, identifying, tracking, assessing, verifying, categorizing, and characterizing objects and events in space. Additionally, Integration and Technology Futures program supports the development of payload prototypes and space defense force packages for protecting U.S. space systems, resources, and operations from enemy attempts to negate, interfere, or destroy them. Specific OCS activities include disruption, denial, or degradation (and associated Electronic Support) of adversary space systems that may be used for purposes hostile to U.S. national security interests. Rapid Reaction Capabilities in response to immediate warfighter needs in the Space Control mission area are developed within the Rapid Reaction Branch (RRB). Depending on the magnitude of Combatant Command Urgent Operational Needs (UON), this program may not include necessary funding for all contingency deployments. As required, necessary funding will be requested through established Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) processes. Joint Space Integration Technology leverages knowledge of the space environment and impacts on weapon systems to prototype, develop, test, and field joint multi- domain software and modeling solutions to fill capability gaps for Combatant Commanders. Military Application of the Space Environment (MASE) project consolidates and integrates current space environment science and technology advancements to provide capability for joint force systems in all domains to address immediate and evolving threats to U.S. forces operating in harm's way. The data provided supports rapid and agile demonstrations, exercises, and war games that provide essential validation of delivered capabilities to improve operational effectiveness. In FY 2024, the Joint Space Integration Technology effort was transferred out of Project 642611 into a new Project 646438 for transparency. In FY 2024, a portion of Project 642611, Technology Insertion Planning and Analysis efforts was transferred from Project 646438, Joint Space Integration Technology for transparency. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver SCT weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF.
