Space Analysis and Application Development

Abstract

Located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado, the Space Innovation and Development Center develops, evaluates, tests, and integrates space application and utility concepts, as well as new technologies, while providing combat effects to warfighters, such as aid in mission planning of Global Positioning System (GPS) aided/guided munitions. Its innovation, education, and training activities foster solutions to operational deficiencies and enhance the integration of space systems into Air Force operations, thereby enabling service and joint warfighters to realize the full potential of existing and planned space capabilities. The Space Analysis and Application Development project develops and modifies modeling and simulation tools that Air Force Space Command's Space Analysis Center uses for operations research, military utility analyses, tradeoff studies, and other evaluations of space mission areas to guide planning, programming, requirements generation, analyses of alternatives, and other activities. Development activities incorporate changes in fielded and projected space operational capabilities, as well as technical improvements, into the group's software tools to ensure their data and technology remain current. This effort is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development, because it develops and modifies software models for fielded analysis systems.
