Abstract:
Space Situation Awareness (SSA) is defined as “The requisite current and predictive knowledge of space events, threats, activities, conditions, and space systems status, capabilities, constraints, and employment to enable commanders, decision makers, planners and operators to gain and maintain freedom of action in space through the spectrum of conflict.” The Space Situation Awareness Integration Office (SSAIO) responsibilities include: establishing and recommending overall direction for the nations SSA capabilities, capturing national SSA requirements, building the national SSA Enterprise Architecture (EA), evaluating capabilities to satisfy requirements, and evolving modernization plans and investment strategies.
Monitoring and characterizing the natural environment is foundational to achieving SSA and is SSA Capability 1 of 15 capabilities defined in the SSAIO EA. This poster provides an overview of the SSAIO, the processes used to build and evaluate the SSA EA, and highlights some of the findings related to SSA Capability 1.
