An Automated Tool to Enable the Distributed Operations of Air Force Satellites

Abstract

This report summarizes mobile foundations Phase I SBIR project entitled "An Automated Tool to Enable the Distributed Operations of Air Force Satellites." The overall goal of the project was to proved the feasibility of enhancing US Air Force space operations through the use of advanced automation to provide distributed situational awareness. Such an approach will help the Air Force meet the vision of "Next Generation Space Operations" laid out in the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) Strategic Master Plan. This report documents the human effectiveness and systems analyses mobile foundations used as a basis for its proof-of-concept prototype. The report also describes the software prototype (called FASAT, Fast Access Situational Awareness) that mobile foundations developed and demonstrated to prove the feasibility of its approach to developing a next-generations distributed operations system.
