Space Mod Initiative
Abstract
The primary objective of SMI is to enable and inform future decisions, and maintain and evolve a capable, resilient, and affordable OPIR architecture. This will be accomplished using maturing technologies and mitigating risk areas to modernize OPIR systems within the Department's constrained resources. SMI supports the SBIRS Program of Record (PoR) by assessing future parts and material obsolescence, designing future space and ground modifications focused on affordability and capability, and maximizing the effectiveness of existing system data products. SMI funds engineering activities to reduce both production and future system costs through manufacturing and producibility enhancements, and technology insertion. SMI will also mature potential technology upgrades at the component and system level for future space and ground architecture enhancements. SMI includes studies and risk reduction activities to evolve the current PoR constellation, reduce production timelines, and reduce recurring production costs. SMI activities are balanced and phased to enable an expanded trade space and improve the competitive environment. The three major thrust areas under SMI are Demonstrations, Technical Maturation and Data Exploitation.
