Air Space Total Awareness for Rapid Tactical Execution (ASTARTE)*
Abstract
*Formerly Dynamic Airspace Control The Air Space Total Awareness for Rapid Tactical Execution (ASTARTE) program will develop and demonstrate innovative approaches to create a joint, regional (covering the span of an Army division) airspace picture and dynamically managing local airspace operations in an Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) environment without requiring conventional high power radars or communications. This capability will support airspace dynamic planning and real-time re-planning and deconfliction of a wide array of airborne systems and long-range fires. ASTARTE will identify and deconflict operational missions in a complicated environment filled with ground and airborne threats, friendly fires, precision guided munitions, manned and unmanned aircraft, and civilian aviation. Based on technologies developed in the Systems of Systems-Enhanced Small Units (SESU) program (budgeted in PE 0603766E/Project NET-01), ASTARTE will develop a virtual and live testbed for airspace management systems, a series of algorithms for airspace planning and operations, and a collection of sensors, leveraging existing and novel sensors for real-time spatial and temporal tracking of airborne platforms. ASTARTE will be compatible with legacy command and control (C2) airspace management tools to take advantage of prior investments in technologies, such as human-machine interfaces, and to minimize costs and the impact on training. Technologies from this program will transition to the Army and the Air Force.
