Global Sensor Watch Program (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 orbit regimes with a survivable tip & cue capability that provides overlapping, assured, and viable surveillance options for executing event response, processing of SDA data at multiple classification levels, and automated cross-sensor tipping & cueing worldwide. In order to ensure the successful implementation of a survivable, overlapping, assured, and viable architecture, GSW includes the necessary sensor comm upgrades to ensure data transport/throughput, compatibility, and effects-based tactical tasking/response functionality. To do this, GSW enables highly available, non-stovepipe sensor planning, sensor tasking, sensor response, collected sensor data, and processed information/products/results to be stored, shared, and integrated for warfighting and analysis. GSW will continue coordination with Japanese Ministry of Defense (JMOD) on the development of classified C2 and SDA data sharing between a Japanese Space Operations Center (SpOC) and 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.
