Unified Data Library (UDL)

Abstract

The Unified Data Library project (673941) supports 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 classification 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 dedicated USSF collateral, contributing and non-traditional sensors and systems 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. Enterprise Data Architecture (EDA) is an emergent Unified Data Library (UDL) requirement prototype pursuing an authority to operate on both unclassified and classified domains. EDA will strategically execute experimentation, prototyping, and risk reduction to build an enterprise data architecture providing relevant data and a repository architecture to be managed and federated at the enterprise level with an agile data strategy. Architecture will incorporate DAF CDAO enterprise services to ensure a common infrastructure will enable integration between Space Domain Awareness and other mission area artificial intelligence decision-support tools synthesizing field data to assess and report near real-time force readiness status.
