E-FORGE

Abstract

E-FORGE was a new start activity in FY24. As an FY24 new start, the operating concept is still being finalized. Future allocation of resources to this PE will be used to assist in the employment of the operating concept, once approved. Endurable FORGE (E-FORGE) is envisioned as a possible solution to replace the interim SBIRS Survivable Endurable Evolution (S2E2) system and provides continuous survivable and endurable non-imaging infrared for MW reporting across all phases of military operations to ITW/AA, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) and Nuclear Command and Control System architectures. E-FORGE, as envisioned, enables the integration of SBIRS GEO 1-6 and the Next-Gen OPIR MW mission data through a survivable antenna system and a modernized data processing platform that adopts the FORGE MDP open framework and the FORGE C2 (FC2) baseline solution, and an integrated data architecture for missile warning. Additionally, E-FORGE may integrate nuclear detonation detection (NUDET) data from GPS sensors and utilize protected MILSATCOM for strategic reporting.
