Enterprise Ground Services EGS
Abstract
Today's rapidly changing threat environment requires the Department of Defense to deliver agile, integrated, and resilient effects in, from, and through space to meet the nation's warfighting needs. The Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) program will provide a robust enterprise ground architecture for United States Space Force (USSF) satellite systems. EGS capability will become the primary ground command and control (C2) suite of services for the Space Force enterprise that integrates with mission partner capabilities to meet evolving current and future space domain demands that will fully enable warfighting effects to maintain United States space dominance. EGS is based on Multi-Mission Satellite Operations Center (MMSOC) C2 capabilities developed under the Research and Development Space and Missile Operations (RDSMO) program. The EGS program will perform technology maturation, development, prototyping and operational mission transition for increased commonality and resiliency in space program systems. EGS will focus efforts on the rapid development and deployment of tactical C2 services, developing and integrating on-premise and cloud infrastructure to laboratories and multiple sites, exploring advanced concepts, developing prototypes and demonstrations, maturing user experience, refining Concept of Operations (CONOPs), and supporting cybersecurity operations and operational mission training. These efforts will require support such as systems engineering, integration and test, standards and interface development, architecture development, enhanced cybersecurity development and implementation. Programs and projects in the space warfighting enterprise are evaluating ways to maximize innovation, resiliency, and the ability to respond to known and emerging threats, as well as to identify shared/common platform, infrastructure, and data layer solutions to support open frameworks and architectures across the enterprise ground portfolio. Space enterprise efforts aim to execute technology risk-reduction efforts and integrate new or re-purposed capabilities, enterprise decision-making tools, experimentation, and rapid prototyping and fielding via all appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms. Over the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), EGS will be developing and deploying C2 services and software applications into its service catalog in order to support integrating legacy and new missions such as Missile Warning; Missile Defense; MILSATCOM; Positioning, Navigation, and Timing; Environmental Monitoring; Space Domain Awareness; and various classified and experimental satellites and missions to the EGS open architecture. The modifications to catalog software applications provided by EGS are being made in an agile development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) environment. Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to emerging adversary threats. Space Systems Command (SSC) has transformed the organization and implementation of space acquisition to an enterprise approach, to increase innovation and resiliency, leveraging international, commercial, and mission partnerships, and managing program/project priorities according to an integrated unclassified/classified enterprise space architecture. Expanding the appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms to deliver capability sooner, SSC will strategically execute experimentation, prototyping, risk reduction, and other efforts to develop new or repurpose existing capabilities. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
