Open Call for Innovative Defense-Related Dual-Purpose Technologies/Solutions with a Clear Air Force Stakeholder Need

The Stratagem Team is partnering with the 1st Space Operations Squadron (1 SOPS) to provide a solution for real-time validation of collected Space Domain Awareness (SDA) metric observations. Traditionally, the measurement and assessment of 1 SOPS sensor data quality has been accomplished by external end-users, which can introduce latency in identifying and correcting sensor issues. Developing an autonomous method by which 1 SOPS can continuously monitor data quality will ensure the unit can meet tactical level requirements and timelines. This autonomous data validation capability also enables 1 SOPS to significantly expand their number of sensor sources without assuming additional risk of misinforming operations with erroneous data Stratagem’s solution, Lumos, continuously monitors and validates all sensor data quality while proactively identifying calibration biases and alerting registered operators to the biases. Lumos will also generate a solution to correct the sensor bias, but it will not apply it without human intervention. The bias detection and corrections are performed by an existing algorithm approach that was developed and verified for both space-based SDA sensors and ground-based sensors. Lumos will be a fully containerized solution that will be deployed via Stratagem’s DevSecOps pipeline and can be deployed into any virtualized environment.
