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

The Air Force has a common problem across its Space C2 Enterprise; operators are often over burdened with trivial tasks and lack appropriate solutions to address mission objectives, feasibly in near real-time. The Phase I investigation will evaluate a solution that alleviates the sensor optimization and calibration problem. This issue affects the Air Force in multiple ways: 1) difficulty in validating, calibrating and using all the new sources of data, 2) manpower constraints to keep up with the workload, 3) mission degradation of the space protection and SSA mission areas due to data starvation due a lack of integration. The focus will be on the sensor optimization mission at 18th space and Space Defense mission at the NSDC. Future efforts would expand upon this use case to provide similar solutions to other DoD, civil and commercial organizations. Omitron proposes an automatic, near real time sensor calibration capability that provides services to commercial, DoD, foreign and IC users. Omitron’s Dr. Dan Snow offers expert level experience in the integration of sensors into various space and intelligence mission areas. Omitron has the mission domain expertise, coupled with direct mission support with key stakeholders at the CSpOC, NROC, NSDC, GSFC, and JSFC.
