  1. Space Weather for Situational Awareness Ted Driver

  2. Introduction • Quick intro about what we do • Review of space environment technologies our customers use • New work for situational awareness (SA) users • Current limitations

  3. AGI technologies

  4. AGI Tools – navigation perspective • Components • Dynamic Geometry Library • Navigation Library • Terrain Library • Web enabled • .Net C# • STK • Space segment • GNSS satellite and receiver design • Communications analysis • NavTK • User segment • High fidelity receiver modeling • Navigation error analysis • ODTK • Control Segment • GNSS Measurement processing • Orbit/Position/Maneuver determination

  5. Current AGI space weather modeling • STK/Space Environment • Radiation dosing over time • AFRL and NASA models used • South Atlantic Anomaly effects • Micrometeoroid impacts • Vehicle Temperature • NavTK and ODTK • IRI2001 Ionospheric model as ‘truth’

  6. New work • Re-engineering Space Environment tool • Working with a new partner to seamlessly integrate pieces from AF-GEOSpace models into STK • Moving to IRI2007 model • HF comm outage developments • Current model depends on propagation loss calculated from slant range TEC values – not easy! • Near real time ionospheric error analysis tool • Shows unique capabilities of our components with readily available data

  7. Iono error analyst

  8. Current limitations • Only viable at ground level 43 miles

  9. Current limitations • Only valid over CONUS • World wide slant range TEC would be extremely beneficial

  10. Current limitations • Data only available in near real time • ~30-45 minute lag • Predictive capability would make situational awareness more complete

  11. Summary • AGI tools help our customers understand their environment • Current space weather tools address customer requested capabilities • New work will address wider range of data and data availability • New technologies will deliver precise, accurate information in new ways
