SBIRS High Element EMD
Abstract
The Space-Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) primary mission is to provide initial warning of a ballistic missile attack on the US, its deployed forces, and its allies. SBIRS will incorporate new technologies to enhance detection and improve reporting of intercontinental ballistic missile launches, submarine launched ballistic missile launches, and tactical ballistic missile launches. SBIRS supports Missile Defense, Battlespace Awareness, and Technical Intelligence missions by providing reliable, accurate, and timely data to Unified Combatant Commanders, Joint Task Force (JTF) Commanders, the intelligence community, and other users. SBIRS provides increased detection and tracking performance in order to meet requirements in US Strategic Command's Capstone Requirements Document and Air Force Space Command's Operational Requirements Document. The SBIRS system includes both space and ground elements. The space segment consists of Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, payloads hosted on satellites in Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO), and Defense Support Program (DSP) satellites. The ground segment consists of both fixed and mobile data processing elements, communications infrastructure, and relay ground stations serving all SBIRS space elements. The HEO-1 and HEO-2 payloads are accepted and certified for Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment (ITW/AA) missile warning operations and technical intelligence operations. The GEO-1 satellite is on-orbit and is undergoing testing and calibration to prepare for operational acceptance. Concept studies/activities may be implemented to investigate obsolescence issues, Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) solutions to potential operational concerns, and future evolution paths of the ground and/or space segment. This program is assigned to Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it funds the development and integration of mature systems, and the test, evaluation, and demonstration of those systems.
