Space Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) for Superior Space Domain Awareness, Assured Attribution and Timely Response

Precursor SPC is a data analytics and decision support platform that goes beyond situational awareness and uses Machine Learning (ML) Nowcasting to deliver real-time actionable information of the actual Space environment to the Warfighter to make high confidence, consequential operational and tactical decisions.  The objective of Precursor’s SBIR Direct-to-Phase-II Space Based Environmental Monitoring (SBEM) program is to Demonstrate a 4D real-time ionospheric representation of the actual (live) LEO environment that includes a real-time space environment decision platform interfacing with current ground and space-based systems to deliver actionable space weather data over a dynamic theater. SWN will seamlessly integrate across existing and future systems as an AI/ML data processing algorithm to collect real-time data for actionable insight and immediate warfighter intelligence. This real-time space weather platform dramatically enhances SDA through advanced SBEM and a real-time Ionospheric representation (i.e. Nowcasting) even in highly disturbed ionospheric conditions.  The deliverables of the program are Ionospheric Density (JROC Gap 4), Ionospheric Scintillation (JROC Gap 7), Auroral Characterization (JROC Gap 10), and Electric Field (JROC Gap 12) solutions as a Data-as-a-Service. Precursor’s Persistent Space Weather Nowcasting and Space Based Environmental Monitoring will deliver Superior Space Domain Awareness, Assured Attribution and Timely Response for the Warfighter.
