ORS Common Services

Abstract

ORS Common Services supports the entire ORS partnership (Services, Intelligence Community, Reserve Component, NASA, and our Allies). These activities include studies and analysis to maintain the ORS investment roadmap and coordination and planning activities across the ORS Enterprise. ORS Common Services works with Joint Force Commanders (JFC) and the Services to identify the most likely emergent space needs, make plans and preparations to meet those needs, evaluate results of operational experimentation, and prepare plans and procedures for operational employment and transition. These foundational activities ensure ORS enabler investments are optimally targeted to quickly mature ORS's ability to execute rapid responses to time-critical needs when they arise. Common Services identifies and presents options for concepts/solutions and experimentation including international efforts, conducts concepts development, solutions assessment, rapid evaluation of alternatives, experimentation planning, modeling and simulation, and develops budgetary recommendations for ORS solutions. ORS is working with the University of Hawaii’s (U of H) Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory (HSFL) and Sandia National Laboratory on the Low Earth Orbit Nanosatellite Integrated Defense Autonomous Systems (LEONIDAS) program. LEONIDAS is to design, fabricate, launch, and perform on-orbit operations of small and micro-satellites for early detection of missile launches by hostile forces.
