SSA Environmental Monitoring
Abstract
In FY13, the project 65A038, SSA Environmental Monitoring (SSAEM), was terminated. The sensors that have completed development will be available for rideshare on the Constellation Observing System for Meteorology Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC-2) satellite system or other available host platform. 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 contribute to the nation's space environment analysis and forecasting models that provide 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. SSAEM includes the fielding of a space-based sensing capability to gather space environment measurement data, developing and procuring sensors. SSAEM funds risk reduction efforts for space sensors by leveraging existing prototypes, operational systems and Joint/Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (JCTDs/ACTDs). SSAEM sensors will integrate into the overall SSA mission, comply with net-centricity requirements, and provide timely critical decision making data to the SSA battlespace management infrastructure.
