Bringing the Future Space Based Infrared Systems to the Warfighter
Abstract
The Space Based Infra Red System Wargaming Model (SBIRS/WM) is a simulation representing the future SBIRS capabilities for the Space and Missile Systems Center SBIRS Program Office, Advanced Program Division (SMC/MTEP) in wargames and exercises. SBIRS/WM is required to run in real-time utilizing various interfaces and protocols, and can be used to perform design trades, refining requirements, and providing an independent tool for verification of system operational utility and effectiveness. SBIRS/WM is based on current operational requirements, and currently represents SBIRS in Joint National Test Facility (JNTF) wargames, other system-of-system simulations, and exercises. The simulation represents Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) elements of the program. The JNTF has teamed with SMC, the SBIRS Contractor, and the Software Engineering Institute to evolve SBIRS/WM to meet current and future needs, and to evaluate Product Line Architecture (PLA) applicability to conducting business. The initial product will be called the Missile Defense Space Tool (MDST), and will initially be used to support Expeditionary Forces Experiment 1998. This paper describes the SBIRS system and concepts, and then describes how the JNTF and SMC will bring that concept to the warfighter in the form of a flexible and realistic simulation tool.
