Space Superiority - Advanced Intelligence Systems
Abstract
The Space Superiority Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) (SSI) program provides ISR and Electronic Support (ES) for key find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess (F2T2EA) requirements supporting Space Superiority activities meeting Combatant Command (CCMD) needs. SSI funds developmental intelligence activities to support new space superiority capability acquisition and development. Funds associated developmental ISR Planning and direction, Collection, Processing and exploitation, Analysis and production, Dissemination and integration (PCPAD) capabilities providing Battlespace Awareness and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) in support of Space Superiority and Space Control. This includes funding for fixed and transportable intelligence collection; Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED); analysis and production capabilities that are modular (plug-and-play); meet Risk Management Framework Accreditation requirements and can keep pace with technological advances and emerging threats. It provides intelligence support systems for SDA activities that provide the requisite current and predictive knowledge of space events and threat conditions and intelligence support to the Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP) by providing architectural survivability analysis of critical mission assets for mission assurance, as well as network analysis. It also supports specialized/tailored, phased threat system analysis and studies (A&S), test support, lab equipment, and Material Acquisition and Exploitation (MAE) for system development, vulnerability, susceptibility assessments to support tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) development, and future threat technology studies necessary for mission area success, achievement of space superiority, and to preserve the US space advantage across all domains. Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to the proliferation of emerging space adversary threats and new technologies. In support of these nascent, cutting edge space acquisition capabilities, Space Superiority ISR provides exquisite, crucial cryptologic and ISR through transformational collection and production activities through the rapid development and fielding of fixed and transportable intelligence architectures capable of front-end collection and analysis of new technologies in near real time. Space Superiority and Space Control is only realized through Space Superiority ISR support on the front end of space acquisition, allowing increased innovation and resiliency in support of changing program/project priorities to respond and to operate in the contested space domain, as well as supporting lifecycle experimentation, prototyping, and risk reduction. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
