Next-Gen OPIR Space, Block 0 Polar
Abstract
Next-Gen OPIR Space, Block 0 Polar (Project 657121): The primary mission is to provide initial missile warning of a ballistic missile attack on the US, its deployed forces and its allies. Next-Gen OPIR-Space enhances detection and improves reporting of intercontinental ballistic missile launches, submarine launched ballistic missile launches, and tactical ballistic missile launches. Development consists of the Next-Gen OPIR Polar missile warning satellites with 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 Next Gen OPIR Polar (NGP) capability in three contract actions. Phase 0 awarded in June 2018, encompassing system and payload requirements analysis and risk reduction efforts leading to a System Requirements Review. Phase 1 will be awarded for design and development, critical path flight hardware procurement, and risk reduction efforts leading to a System Critical Design Review. Phase 2 will be awarded for the manufacturing, assembly, integration and test, and delivery of NGP satellites 1&2.
