R&D Space and Missile Operations
Abstract
The Research and Development Space and Missile Operations (RDSMO) program, executed by the Advanced Systems and Development Directorate at Kirtland AFB, NM, conducts space and missile Research and Developmental Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) and Initial Operational Test and Evaluation (IOT&E) in support of experimental, demonstration, and operational satellites. The program develops, acquires, and operates satellite command and control (C2) and fixed/deployable telemetry, tracking, and commanding (TT&C) antenna systems in support of AF and DoD missions. The RDSMO program is responsible for the design, development, integration, testing, sustainment and operations of the Multi-Mission Satellite Operations Center (MMSOC) C2 systems installed in the RDT&E Support Complex (RSC) at Kirtland AFB, NM and Schriever AFB, CO. In FY2018, this Program Element contains the Enterprise Ground Service (EGS) as part of the evolving Space Warfighter Construct (SWC) in response to the Space Enterprise Vision (SEV). MMSOC capability will transition to become the EGS C2 product line. The EGS C2 product line will perform technology maturation, experiments, prototyping and operational mission transition for increased commonality and resiliency in space program ground systems. The main objective of the EGS is to provide a robust enterprise ground architecture for Air Force space systems. In FY 2018, EGS includes efforts such as systems engineering, integration and test efforts, standards and interface development, architecture development, enhanced cybersecurity development and implementation, prototype demonstrations, C2 data center development at three space operations sites and operational mission transition support. The main objective of the MMSOC Development is to develop the capability to rapidly support R&D and operational systems and to transition R&D space vehicle technology with residual military utility to operational status for immediate warfighter support. MMSOC is a multiple mission operation system that uses standard software to (1) perform satellite C2 in support of launch requirements; (2) develop and test tactics, techniques, procedures and concepts to conduct satellite operations; (3) provide a satellite C2 incremental block evolution resource for RDT&E of new systems and concepts; and (4) deliver operational flexibility for new and currently flying assigned satellites. A secondary objective of MMSOC is to provide a foundational C2 platform and product line for the EGS effort to build upon and to meet the evolving initiatives of the SWC.
