  2. ARMY is the top consumer of space products The Space FACT validates the Space M&S requirements FWC is leveraging ARMY M&S investment in OneSAF System The PEOSTRI robust development processes allows for this functionality to be used by all OneSAF user communities (ARC, RDA, TEMO) FWC is insuring space representation are present in OneSAF OneSAF Co-Lab Motivation Top Space M&S Needs SMDC Leads AMSO Space Focus Area Collaborative Team (FACT) • Determines Space M&S Requirements • Establishes Program Effort • Initiating Space Representation • Establishing OneSAF Lab to Facilitate Space Modeling and Simulation Development Efforts Space Fact Capabilities Roll Out Total Survey Score from Operational Needs Survey FWC is the M&S ARMY Center of Excellence for Space and Missile Defense

  7. ISR: Mobility/Commercial Satellite in OneSAF Space Based ISR in OneSAF Space Support to Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance • Improves the Common Operating Picture (COP) by including intelligence data from "outside" play box • Provides exploited satellite imagery data to Maneuver Force simulating • Implicitly represents space ISR collection process to answer commander’s Priority Intelligence Requirements • First implementation includes commercial systems • Implements a computationally efficient space move behavior algorithm • Decreases CPU time by as much as 95% compared to traditional satellite propagation methods • Only represents satellite position when it can view the battlespace or communicate with a ground station • Space Support to Battlespace Characterization • Provides Exploited Imagery Data in the form of SPOT/Situation Reports for Assigned Areas of Interest • Future Efforts will focus on the Satellite Visual Representation Expands the ARMY Warfighter Capability by: • Adding Space Assets for Full Spectrum ISR • Developing Situational Understanding Based on a Robust Operational Picture • Providing Space Capabilities for Beyond Line of Sight Effects • Enabling Strategic Responsiveness By I&W and Ensuring Intel Readiness

  8. Explicit Satellite Simulation via GRoSP • A New Orbit Every 94 Minutes • 7 Visibility Opportunities in 24 Hours • Satellite “Flies” Route & Conducts Target Surveillance • NORAD Two-Line Element (TLE) Sets Establish Satellite Flight Characteristics • Payload (Antenna & Sensor) Field of Regard & Field of View (FOR & FOV) • For Each AOI/Satellite Combination • Determine Gateways & Calculate LANs: If LANs Inside Gateways, Calculate Entry/Exit Points • Fly Satellite between Points (Turn On Sensors & Begin Surveillance at Entry Point; Turn Off Sensor at Exit Point • Surveillance Process Iterates for Duration of AOI Initial Satellites • Commercial Systems • EO & IR Sensors

  9. Low-Resolution Downlink Calculation Theater Downlink if Ground Station Present Delay Calculated from Terrain Box to First Ground Station for Ascending & Descending Orbit User-Defined Exploitation Delay Time Space Observation Reports Posted to C2 Network OneSAF ISR

  10. OneSAF Space EO Imagery Representing Satellite Imagery from a Synthetic Environment • Large Field of View • Represent EO Imagery • Strip Collection Customized imagery products from 11 different civil/commercial satellites

  11. Merged with OneSAF version 1.1 for testing and release in OneSAF version 1.5 Feb 07 SMDC OCDS Handover #2 SMDC OCDS Capabilities OneSAF version 1.1 OneSAF v 1.5

  12. ISR MGS Capability Added to OneSAF Requirement: • Current Space ISR simulates collection of data over theater of operations and relays to fixed terrestrial ground stations that further relay data for exploitation and redistribution. • These relays/exploitation processes outside Commander direct control reduce timeliness & utility of space-base assets. • Capability to downlink data directly into theater of operations would alleviate problem. Solution: • Creation of communications model in OneSAF to establish a relay between space-based platform and terrestrial tactical network – decreases communication response times for warfighter. Modify HUMMV entity representation into an MGS with communications links between satellite and ground C2 networks. • Minor modification of existing radio to include characteristics that make it uniquely a satellite receiver. Radio composed with existing mobility module (HUMMV with trailer) to complete suite. • Implies MGS needs to know if it is in mid-trans mission so as not to immediately respond to movement orders, but wait until end of transmission.

  13. Communications Relay Satellite Sensors “Collection” 4) Exploitation & Production “Out Of Theater” TDL e.g., RSOC TDL “Reach” DDL 3) Processing & Posting 5) Product Mobile Ground Station e.g., TES/ACE 2) Task “In Theater” 1) Request Intelligence Community Target Space-Based ISR Architecture

  14. Merged with OneSAF version 1.5 for testing and release in OneSAF version 2.0 Jul 07 SMDC OCDS Handover #3 SMDC OCDS Capabilities OneSAF version 1.5 OneSAF v 2.0

  15. Additional Sensor Models Added to OneSAF IR IR Sensors:To implement an IR payload representation in OneSAF using the Acquire/AMSAA model, we altered the Satellite Agent to accommodate the IR sensor in place of the EO sensor we implemented earlier. We already had the requisite data tables of sensor parameters, the satellite-to-sensor sensor mapping codes, and the MRT curves to accommodate IR in the AMSAA Acquire algorithm.

  16. JBFSA Initial Operating Capability (IOC) 1.Operational/Warfighter Improvement:Add GPS capability to increase the precision with which blue forces report their positions in order to assess the overall effectiveness of JBFSA doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures.Will allow OneSAF to be used to evaluate new/current TTP’s and new capabilities as they evolve. 2. Simulation Improvement: a. Modify the space movement algorithm to include MEO and GEO Satellite Mobility b. Collect GPS orbital parameters and antenna characteristics c. Implement a GPS dilution of precision (DoP) algorithm d. Create a Blue Force Tracking (BFT) Message from the perceived entity locations e. Propagate BFT Message from BFT device via SATCOM to MMC

  17. Geometric strength of satellite configuration. When visible satellites are close together in the sky, the geometry is said to be weak and the DoP value is high; when far apart, the geometry is strong and the DoP value is low. Add GPS capability to increase the precision with which blue forces report their positions in order to assess the overall effectiveness of JBFSA doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures. Will allow OneSAF to evaluate new/current TTP’s and evolving capabilities. GPS: Dilution of Precision (DoP)

  20. Uplink Transmission from non-spaceentity to satellite entity Downlink Transmission from satellite entity to non-space entity Generally a ground station (Gateway) Different frequency range than the Uplink Crosslink Transmission between two satellite entities (aka inter-satellite link or ISL) Utilizes frequencies unsuitable for terrestrial communications between 20-60 GHz SATCOM Links Link frequency differences play an important role in Communication Effects like bandwidth, jamming and spoofing.

  21. Hyper-Spectral ISR Sensors • Objective: Add HyperSpectral Imagery (HSI) to the ISR capability to improve utility, fidelity. 2. Simulation Improvement: • HSI IOC “effects” model • HSI model with new observation reports • Defect fixes Two-phased approach: • Step One: Represent Hyper-Spectral (HSI) Imaging sensors effects using AMSAA Acquire Model • Create an HSI-like capability by enhancing the spatial resolution of an existing sensor • Future Step: Build an HSI sensor model with new OneSAF “Imaging” messages and observation reports • HSI sensor data exploitation enables sub-pixel resolution (1/4 pixel) • Represents next-generation sensors on space & near-space platforms
