Transforming Space Systems Operations

As a聽trusted space partner聽to the U.S. government, 有料盒子APP helps clients modernize capabilities for today鈥檚 greatest space challenges:聽

  • Weaponization of space:聽The U.S. must stay ahead of adversaries threatening space systems critical to our nation鈥檚 security, commerce, and way of life.
  • Addressing climate change:聽Space-based earth observation is essential to research.
  • Congestion:聽Tracking and protecting space assets is critical as satellite constellations grow exponentially.

Space Agencies Tackle New Threats and Challenges

Agencies must modernize space operations to fulfill Department of Defense (DOD) goals. Some of the key elements include:

Space cyber defense聽is a top priority.聽鈥淲e can no longer assume we will be able to operate without competition or threat in space,鈥 says Ron Bitten, who leads 有料盒子APP鈥檚 innovation for multiple space clients. And challenges go beyond near-peer adversaries: 鈥淎 large number of other countries are also now spacefaring nations,鈥 he explains. Adaptive cybersecurity for satellites on-orbit, the associated terrestrial segments as well as new concepts in developing space/counterspace technology is essential for space operations.

Data is the聽driver of modern warfare.聽The military role of satellites magnifies the importance of the space domain. A satellite communications backbone is critical to access, process, and correlate data to support JADO decision making and JADC2鈥攁nd fulfill the U.S. goal of decision dominance.聽

Modernizing space operations requires coordinated efforts.聽The U.S. Space Force, the leading provider of service-related combat capabilities to U.S. Space Command (USSPACECOM), incorporates innovation from multiple organizations: Space Systems Command, the service鈥檚 main acquisition arm; the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (SpaceRCO), tasked with accelerated development; and other organizations such as DOD鈥檚 Space Development Agency. All are exploring commercial and non-traditional solutions as part of future architectures.

Focus on the Mission

鈥淓verything the U.S. does in space revolves around the ability to command and control resources on orbit, to bring down the data in a usable format in a timely manner, and be able to interpret it and apply it to the mission objective,鈥 says Ron. 有料盒子APP helps stakeholders develop initiatives that play an essential role in that framework.聽

鈥淲e start by asking, what does the end-user need to do their job鈥攖hat captain on the ops floor in the middle of the night, for example. Second, we identify the gaps in technology, and data access in particular, to perform the mission. And third, we focus on delivering an operationally relevant solution that closes that gap or improves data access, integration, and usability. Then we know we鈥檙e hitting a home run,鈥 Ron explains.聽

Our team applies a mission-focused, model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach, and leverages modern technologies for the聽digital battlespace, integrating capabilities such as聽cybersecurity,听artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML), advanced data and networking solutions, and advanced software development.聽

Accelerating Decisions with Digital Innovation

鈥淭here are a number of mission-needs common across the combatant commands (COCOM) and services that potentially could be repurposed in support of multiple COCOM-specific needs. How do you connect the dots between the COCOMs with improved data sharing for situational awareness and decision making to support command and control (C2)? How do you evaluate the different threats, identify which high-value assets are threatened, and quickly identify the best mitigation response options while considering multiple geographic and functional COCOMs? And then can we quickly execute them and execute C2 efficiently and effectively?鈥 asks Ron. To address those questions, 有料盒子APP applies analytics and digital tools to explore a myriad of hypothetical scenarios.聽

Modeling and Simulation聽

鈥淔or example, in one space security program, we鈥檙e creating a process to digitize space and counterspace command and control processes,鈥 Ron adds. 鈥淭hat will lay the foundation for analysts to apply intelligence data to an operational problem, creating sophisticated simulations to choose a threat response.鈥

鈥淭his way, they can quickly run through very complicated planning processes and data integration to understand evolving threats, see what potential response options might look like, and make decisions from a campaign-planning perspective,鈥 Ron says. This process helps leaders assess the best way to coordinate those response options and helps combatant commands rapidly evaluate the effectiveness of the ability to mitigate the threat.聽

Prototyping

Threats are continually changing as competitor nations apply technological advances to continually probe defenses. 有料盒子APP is handling rapid prototyping of space and counterspace capabilities to respond to the joint force鈥檚 urgent and emerging operational needs. Our integrated expertise across聽engineering,听digital solutions,听artificial intelligence,听and聽cyber聽allows us to create a seamless product from design through operational delivery.聽聽

Rapid Software Development

We鈥檙e providing rapid software development using聽open, resilient space data platforms聽that assist in integrating data across military and intelligence communities. We also understand the complexities inherent in processing classified data for varied access levels, with the associated聽data governance, cultural, and technical issues聽of interoperable networking.聽

We integrate these vigorous聽DevSecOps frameworks聽to ensure that security is built in while development is accelerated, with processes tailored for each client鈥檚 need. As the聽nation鈥檚 largest cybersecurity provider, we understand the complexities of offensive and defensive cyber.

For example, we聽establish a digital thread聽as the single source of truth to provide custom tools that enable the聽聽to identify and overcome gaps, overlaps, and dependencies in mission applications for Space Command and Control.

Joint Operations

To enable combined space domain awareness, and further joint operations, we鈥檙e directly supporting the ability to perform near real-time operation with commercial and allied mission partners.

Transformed Processes

People and culture are critical to the mission. Providing efficient workforce processes, navigating cultural change, and leveraging existing technologies for the greatest efficiency is essential to create a lean approach. We鈥檙e working to help the Space Force rapidly shape its digital-first culture.聽

Space and Counterspace Training

Along with the establishment of the new Space Force comes a need for training in new processes and procedures. Intelligence analysts come from diverse backgrounds: some from organizations such as U.S. Strategic Command and the former Air Force Major Command, Air Force Space Command; some from civilian backgrounds; and military operators who are new to the defense environment but are digital natives and therefore can easily adapt to new technologies.

With knowledge of previous Air Force space operations and a diverse team that creates applications for defense teams using immersive training options like聽augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality, we have the perspective to explore cost-effective training that can help operators learn anytime, anywhere.

Evolving Tech for the Evolving Mission

As space challenges continue to evolve, new technologies do too. We conduct聽tech scouting to spot emerging trends聽and enable partnerships with innovators across defense and industry. We鈥檙e here to help the digital-first Space Force leverage the newest ideas with speed and efficiency.聽
