Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS)
Abstract
Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) rapidly integrates and deploys space-based end-to-end capabilities in response to Combatant Commander (CCMD) urgent needs. TacRS capabilities are planned to enter operations and generate effects within 24 hours of tasking. The near-term focus of the TacRS program (FY 2024 and FY 2025) is to establish the foundational capabilities that enable Space Domain Awareness and Combat Power (SDACP) rapid response effects based on urgent CCMD operational needs. The foundational missions enable the program to build on established capabilities, processes, concept of operations, and tactics, techniques and procedures that other mission areas may leverage to enable the 24 hour response timeline beyond the driving SDACP mission need. The other mission areas include but are not limited to surveillance, reconnaissance and tracking, and special communications. In FY 2024, Tactically Responsive Space efforts were transferred from PE 1206862SF, Tactically Responsive Launch, Project 664235, Tactically Responsive Launch (TacRL), to the renamed PE 1206862SF, Tactically Responsive Space, Project 643835, in order to encompass the full range of responsive space. 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.
