TACTICAL SPACE EXPLOITATION
Abstract
The Tactical Space Exploitation initiative explores the application of new space craft technologies on small, light-weight and low-cost satellites, to enhance naval warfighting capabilities by taking advantage of the global access, revisit and connectivity provided by orbital platforms. a) Spacecraft Technology: Affordably expendable payload and bus technologies will be developed, which will serve as building blocks for future responsive space systems: payloads, bus technologies and significant space robotic technologies that address on-orbit inspection, servicing, repair and assembly, and mission-life extension. The increase in funding from FY 2014 to FY 2015 reflects initiation of new efforts and planned funding profile of existing efforts within this activity. The following are non-inclusive examples of accomplishments and plans for projects funded in this activity:
