Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS)
Abstract
In FY 2024, PE 1206862SF, Tactically Responsive Launch (TacRL), Project 664235, Tactically Responsive Launch is being renamed and changed to Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS), Project 643835, Tactically Responsive Space and moved to Budget Activity 04 to encompass the full range of responsive space. Funding prior to FY24 will remain in Project 664235. Tactically Responsive Space will fund proof-of concept tactically responsive space demonstrations including launch, satellites, control systems, and concept of operations using emerging and extant commercial launch and satellite providers with the goal to place or replace military capability on-orbit within 24 hours. Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to pacing and emerging adversary threats. Space Systems Command (SSC) is transforming the organization and implementation of space acquisition to an enterprise approach, to increase innovation and resiliency, leveraging international, commercial, and mission partnerships, and managing program/project priorities according to an integrated unclassified/classified enterprise space architecture. Expanding the appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms to deliver capability sooner. SSC will strategically execute experimentation, prototyping, risk reduction, and other efforts to develop new or repurpose existing capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Tactically Responsive Space 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. This effort is in Budget Activity 4, Advanced Component Development and Prototypes (ACD&P), because efforts are necessary to evaluate integrated technologies, representative modes or prototype systems in a high fidelity and realistic operating environment.
