A Satellite Operations Debrief Aid

SYTRONICS proposes a Satellite Operations Review Tool (SORT) system which applies state-of-the-art agenting technology upon a solid technical/operational foundation--the High-Level Integrated Team Training Environment (HILITE), developed for AFRL/HE undera previous SYTRONICS Program. SPOT provides a post-pass analysis decision aid with control, visualization, and agent capability for post-pass analysis and reporting; the ability to simulate and test operational impacts of the pass and explorealternatives; and a HLA or local interface to all assets necessary for operations or training--a Distributed Mission Training (DMT) capability. The Phase I objectives are: (1) define requirements to specify performance and assessment measures forsatellite post-pass review operations; (2) develop a top-level architecture design to the extent necessary to implement an early prototype, perform feasibility assessments, and form a design basis for Phase II; (3) assess feasibility through simulation andanalysis to establish performance, implementation, and cost feasibility through simulation and analysis; and (4) assess commercial product potential to determine markets, competitors, and collaborators for SPOT. The Phase I results will be therequirements, architecture design, simulation and analysis results, and a preliminary commercialization plan, as well as a demonstration of the simulation-proven feasibility. These results will provide a solid foundation for Phase II.SORT will serve allthe needs of the military for satellite post-pass analysis decision support and has the ability to generally support all types of satellite post-pass analysis and decision tradeoff analyses. Its inherent compatibility with, and interface to the DMT andHLA infrastructures will make it a practical and useful training system as well. In commercial applications, as more commerce migrates into space, it will become a highly-desired commercial satellite post-pass analyzer and trainer.
