Space Protection and Survivability
Abstract
SSDP efforts are deliberately organized to make meaningful contributions to discover, analyze, and validate near-term and far-term options to improve the resilience of space effects for national security missions; in doing so SSDP applies physics-based models and simulation environments, and high fidelity data-driven technical analysis to mitigate adversary counterspace threats consistent with NSS priorities. SSDP has conducted foundational work with key stakeholders to assess current and emerging adversary threat capabilities and concepts with Intelligence Community (IC) partners and counterspace subject matter experts; and to organize, plan, and execute a series of policy, doctrine, strategic messaging, fire control, and wargaming efforts to inform its force design and system/architecture recommendations. Rigorously-validated threat mitigation research, analyses, and demonstrations are closely-coupled with this foundational work, and yield actionable, timely, and efficient protection products that shape integrated force design guidance in Space Control-related mission areas, and inform requisite requirements, budgetary, and investment decision processes; manifesting themselves (as appropriate) in programs and architectures, as well as CONOPS TTPs, and space policy. SSDP activities ultimately prepare options and strategies to increase NSS capabilities' resilience and availability for national security missions in both peacetime and throughout all phases of conflict.
