Threat Detection, Validation, and Mitigation Tool for Counterspace and SSA Operations

The problem is to provide automated space situational awareness (SSA) and mission impact assessment (i.e., L2/3 fusion) to the JSpOC sufficient to their Defensive Counter Space (DCS) response objectives and resource coordination (i.e., L2/3 management).Under this proposed Phase II effort the low risk SARS level 0, 1, and 2 fusion capabilities will be implemented for JSpOC use. The Phase II objectives are partitioned into 2 segments. The first is the CP-3 Indigenous Space Situational Awareness (ISSA) effort to integrate mature SARS level 0, 1, and 2 fusion tools that have been created under various AFRL projects. The second is the development of state of the art SSA and DCS tools at all 5 Data Fusion & Resource Management (DF&RM) processing levels for relevant data sources. The goal of the CP-3 ISSA portion of this Phase II effort is to construct a distributed space situational awareness (SSA) data fusion system to provide actionable information to the Joint Space Operations Center (JSpOC).
