Global Sensor Watch (GSW)
Abstract
GSW provides an integrated SDA architecture to deliver a resilient, high capacity, sensitive, timely, and comprehensive global ground and space-based network of sensors that cover the geocentric and cislunar orbital regimes. GSW is a resilient, automated cross-sensor tip and cue capability that provides overlapping, assured, and viable surveillance options for executing event response, and SDA data processing at multiple classification levels. In order to ensure the successful implementation of a resilient, overlapping, assured, and viable architecture, GSW includes the necessary sensor communication upgrades to ensure data transport/throughput, compatibility, and effects-based tactical tasking/response functionality. To do this, GSW enables highly available, non-stovepiped sensor planning, tasking, response, and data collection, as well as processed information/products/results to be stored, shared, and integrated for warfighting and analysis. GSW will continue coordination international work with Japanese Ministry of Defense (JMOD) on the development of classified C2 and SDA data sharing between a Japanese Space Operations Center (SpOC) and the U.S. Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC). This will align Japanese sensors and United States Government (USG) and non-USG assets to provide critical national security space solutions on tactical operational timelines and continue to pursue security cooperations with other international partners such as Canada and the United Kingdom.
