Unified Data Library (UDL)

Abstract

The Unified Data Library (UDL) supports the integration, exploitation and delivery of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) data sources for Command and Control (C2) and battle management of space forces. It focuses on enabling data sharing, establishing the data architecture required to aggregate multi-sensor data for broader use at different clearance levels, transforming any-source data into normalized, usable information via data exploitation tools, followed by data hand off to Battle Management Command and Control mission systems to support actual space operations. UDL efforts include purchasing commercial SDA data and services in support of US Space Command (USSPACECOM) operations. The UDL will directly connect to USSF owned and collateral sensors with modernized interfaces and transport options to broadly expose data. The UDL will be the single source for accessing and managing all data in support of the USSF, providing a central location to find and access data, enabling superior analytics. Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to emerging adversary threats. Space Systems Center (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.
