Abstract:
Our nations dependence on space assets is pervasive and ever-growing. There are a number of natural and man-made risks that need to be monitored and characterized to protect and preserve capabilities. Vast quantities of net-centric data elements exist that can be transformed, processed, and fused to provide actionable information to predict, detect, attribute, and analyze space events. To provide ready access to this data the space enterprise is moving from a closed stove-piped to an open net-centric system. Near term data needs are being addressed and a long term enterprise view is being taken to ensure compatibility and an ability to accommodate the growth of data while providing increased mission utility. This paper focuses on advanced integrated solutions to obtain, process, and net-centrically expose data sources across various networks in support of the space protection mission. This net-centric data combined with advanced technical solutions enables real-time space situation awareness and improved space vehicle protection via service oriented architectures, automation, data fusion, big data analytics, and commercial technologies.
