COMSATCOM
Abstract
The backbone of Fighting SATCOM is a SATCOM EM&C capability for an Integrated SATCOM Enterprise. This is the foundation for SATCOM integration into an operational level Command and Control (C2) system that enables the end-to-end sensor-to-shooter execution serving the protect and defend, as well as theatre support missions for United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) and the Theater Combatant Commands. SATCOM EM&C applications will provide critical services to our warfighters to facilitate timely, quality driven battlespace decisions for SATCOM allocation and use. The effort leverages a Development Security Operations (DevSecOps) platform to rapidly prototype and deliver EM&C mission applications enabling responsive, resilient SATCOM for the Single Warfighting Commander, National Space Defense Center (NSDC), Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), SATCOM Integrated Operations Division (SIOD), Regional SATCOM Support Centers (RSSC), Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) Satellite Operations Brigade, and other C2 centers. Enterprise-level architecture, prototyping, test, and experimentation will drive Commander's acceptance of capabilities and enable integrated mission systems with machine-to-machine connections. SATCOM EM&C applications are delivered in capability categories including integrating data management, automating resource allocation, and fusing situational awareness. In addition to USSF developed EM&C capabilities, USSF will demonstrate the onboarding of MEO commercial SATCOM services into the SATCOM architecture and Space Data Transport Force Design. The LUX MEO activity is an initial effort for the USSF to partner, explore, prototype, and integrate an international commercial SATCOM service into the DoD SATCOM enterprise. Demonstrations will include utilizing EM&C for provisioning and planning, usage of PTW over MEO Commercial SATCOM and integration of PTES hubs into commercial satellite capable gateways. Early adoption of capability will also be used to prototype and demonstrate fiber resiliency for large gateway backhaul via space. Capacity will further be used to demonstrate platforms use of multi-orbital terminals for AISR, maritime communications and communications on the move. Luxembourg is also procuring commercial SATCOM services to contribute to international demonstration and testing of integrated and interoperable ground and space architecture elements. This international partnership intends to demonstrate the ability to jointly procure communication capacity services that will result in a higher return on US DoD SATCOM investment and potentially lead to future international partnering opportunities.
