SSA Environmental Monitoring
Abstract
Space Situational Awareness Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM) continues the key space environment measurements of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) program de-manifested from the planned next generation weather program. These measurements are critical inputs to the nation's space environment analysis and forecasting models supporting the pervasive nature of space environmental support to all aspects of SSA, offensive and defensive space control, GPS accuracy assurance, system anomaly resolution, attribution and responsive actions, and force protection from communication outages/degradation modulated by solar activity. The key component of SSAEM includes a space-based sensing capability to acquire space environment measurement data. SSAEM will fund risk reduction efforts for space sensors by leveraging existing prototypes, operational systems and Joint/Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs/ACTDs). SSAEM will seamlessly integrate into the overall SSA mission, comply with net-centricity requirements, and provide timely critical decision making data to the SSA battlespace management infrastructure.
