Next-Gen OPIR Ground
Abstract
Next-Gen OPIR Ground (Project 657106/Program Element 1206440SF): Next-Gen OPIR Ground, also known as Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE), consists of Command and Control (C2) migration to US Space Force (USSF) Enterprise Ground Services (EGS), modernization of Mission Data Processing (MDP) to implement an open framework and develop mission applications, and required development and/or upgrades to Relay Ground Stations (RGS) to meet USSF current and future space domain demands. FORGE and EGS efforts combined will provide the flexibility and scalability to integrate new satellites, sensors and capabilities more rapidly and efficiently in order to meet evolving threats and warfighter needs. Identify shared/common platform, infrastructure, and data layer solutions to support open frameworks and architectures across the enterprise ground portfolio. The Next-Gen OPIR ground efforts enable cyber enhancements for both space and ground systems. EGS will introduce common ground services such as Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding (TT&C); mission management; and automation. To support initial Next-Gen OPIR Space satellite launches without driving risk into the FORGE development schedule, the program has established a risk reduction ground Next-Gen OPIR Interim Operations (NIO) capability based on a limited Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Block 20 solution. FORGE is not fully funded across the Future Years Defense Program. The Department of the Air Force is assessing all options to address the funding shortfalls for MTA programs including additional funding in a future budget request, performance trades based on technical maturity, or transition to alternative pathways.
