Next-Gen OPIR Space, Block 0 GEO

Abstract

Next-Gen OPIR Space Block 0 GEO (Project 657120): The primary mission is to provide initial missile warning of a ballistic missile attack on the US, deployed forces and allies. The Next-Gen OPIR GEO missile warning satellites enhance detection and improve reporting of intercontinental ballistic missile launches, submarine ballistic missile launches, and tactical ballistic missile launches. Development consists of new payloads in a highly resilient bus, providing real-time persistent global infrared coverage to meet validated JROC requirements on current and future space domain demands. The Program Office intends to acquire the NGG capability in two contract actions. Phase 1 awarded in August 2018 and encompasses requirements analysis, design/development, critical path flight hardware procurement, and risk reduction efforts leading to a System Critical Design Review (CDR). Phase 2 will be awarded for the manufacturing, assembly, system integration and test, launch and early on-orbit test through the delivery of NGGs 1-3 for operational acceptance of each space vehicle.
