Abstract:
This presentation will provide an overview of the Space C2 Kobayashi Maru program to deliver capabilities to the National Space Defense Center (NSDC), Combined Space Operations Center (CSpOC), and Mission Partners. The Space Command and Control (C2) program (Kobayashi Maru) provides capabilities that bring critical services to our Warfighters to facilitate timely, quality battlespace decisions. The program provides infrastructure and enterprise services, as well as develops mission applications to enable responsive, resilient operational-level Space C2 capabilities for the space operations centers. Employing an Agile-based Rapid Delivery Framework with a 90-day Program Increment (PI) construct fosters a collaborative and integrated environment for the community to work together to efficiently and effectively deliver C2 capabilities. The Space C2 program software factory is the key infrastructure for agile capability development and deployment. This factory focuses on rapidly delivering operational capabilities to our Warfighters. Our Portfolio Program Management (PPM) and Portfolio Requirements Management Team (PRMT) establish and break down large requirements into manageable batch sizes for rapid processing on the factory floor. Development teams further break requirements down into user stories that are processed through our Continuous Improvement (CI)/Continuous Deployment (CD) pipeline. Mission capable applications are delivered to the space operations centers.
Initial Kobayashi Maru capabilities were developed under the BMC2 JEON and initial capabilities were delivered to the NSDC. The Space C2 program has taken over development responsibilities for NSDC, CSpOC and 18th SPCS and has made improvements within the current 90-day Program Increments. The improvements have focused on allowing users at multiple operations centers to augment the current battlespace awareness picture with increased time-dominant data. This includes development of web-based high interest event tracker and, space support request and tasking order capabilities.
