Ground Based Optical Sensor System (GBOSS)
Abstract
GBOSS provides a global, ground-based, optical sensor capability for Space Domain Awareness (SDA). The program implements advanced capabilities that may leverage coalition data, commercial data, and sophisticated exploitation algorithms to enhance system response and resiliency to operate in the contested space domain based on aggressive threats by our pacing-competitors, China and Russia. GBOSS improves sensitivity, search rate, tracking of non-cooperative launches, precise tagging of clustered objects, detection of closely spaced dim objects, attribution of orbital attackers and delivers foundational technology to support data exploitation for advanced indications and warnings. This effort includes upgrading existing sensors, dissemination of all data to DoD and IC stakeholders via the Unified Data Library (UDL), and may field GBOSS-enhanced GEODSS capabilities to new locations in accordance with USSF Leadership direction. The program will also acquire new advanced technology sensors to improve persistence and advanced multi-spectral data collection, enabling high-fidelity characterization and rapid attribution. The program will collaborate with Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), National Space Defense Center (NSDC), and National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) efforts to ensure enterprise data fusion and dissemination supporting Enterprise Space Battle Management Command, and Control (ESBMC2).
