R&D Space & 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 prototype experimental, demonstration, and operational satellites at the RDT&E Support Complex (RSC) and the Mobile Range Flight (MRF) at Kirtland, NM and at Schriever AFB, CO. The RDSMO program develops, acquires, delivers, integrates, tests, operates and sustains the Multi-Mission Satellite Operations Center (MMSOC) satellite command and control (C2) Ground System Enterprise (GSE) and fixed/deployable telemetry, tracking, and commanding (TT&C) antenna systems in support of AF and DoD missions. The RDSMO program is responsible transitions for designated satellite missions to the operational command upon user needs. In addition, RDSMO supports the deployment and sustainment of Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) in multiple locations as AFSPC transitions to an Enterprise-based ground C2. Funds in the General Information Technology (Space) line procures Information Technology products to support RDSMO. The primary objective of the MMSOC C2/GSE environment is to develop the capability to rapidly support R&D, prototype 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 hardware and software infrastructure 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 satellite and C2 systems and concepts; and (4) deliver operational flexibility for new and legacy satellite missions. A secondary objective of MMSOC is to provide a foundational C2 platform and product line for the Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) effort to build upon and to meet the evolving initiatives of the current and future space enterprise.
