Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC)
Abstract
The United States Space Force (USSF) initiated and activated the Space Warfighting Analysis Center (SWAC) in mid-FY 2021, and programmed FY 2022 funding to enable the organization to begin conducting its specialized mission. In the absence of a newly-created, SWAC-specific Program Element (PE) at the time of the budget request (FY 2022 President's Budget), the SWAC conducted FY 2022 efforts from Program Element 1203905SF (Space System Support) in the 3620 Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation. In FY 2023, SWAC will begin using the newly established PE 1203622SF for all activities, thus, no further funding in FY 2023 will be directed to PE 1203905SF. It is important to note that PE 1206730SF, Space Security Defense Program (SSDP) mission is distinctly different and intentionally separate from the USSF's SWAC; SSDP focuses its reach across the National Security Space spectrum and Space Control mission area while the SWAC's mission is aligned with Service authorities and focuses on USSF-specific priorities. 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.
