Sensor Service Life Extension Program
Abstract
The Sensor Life Extension Programs (SLEPs) project funds efforts to upgrade, operationalize and extend the life of operational Space Situational Awareness (SSA) sensors, as needed. These SLEPs include, but are not limited to, programs which extend the serviceable life of assets and maintain critical capability by replacing aging and increasingly unsustainable components with modern and sustainable equipment. SLEPs may incorporate equipment which inherently includes technological advances resulting in enhanced or increased capabilities. In addition, the SLEP itself may be designed to increase capabilities not currently realized. The on-going Ground-based Electro Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) Phase II is representative of sensor system upgrades in the SLEP project. As the need arises in the execution year, funds in this project may be used to begin sensor life extension programs on additional efforts. The SSA Ops Demo creates a survivable architecture which provides overlapping, assured, and viable surveillance options for executing simultaneous safety of flight and event response. The demonstration develops software modifications to exploit data from legacy systems and demonstrate real-time SSA search functionality, multiple level security processing of SSA data and automated cross-sensor tipping and cueing around the globe. Ground Based Radar Upgrades improve the sensitivity, search capabilities and CONOPS of existing SSA sensors to better support custody and fire control timelines.
