Co-Development Lab Milestones

• MayISR development began. Initiated development
  of a Satellite Imagery Capability.
• October ISR Handover Package (Source Code,
  Development Artifacts, Test Plans, Procedures,
  Test Results). Integrated ISR into OneSAF
  baseline. Added eleven commercial satellites with
  EO sensor capability and a high-efficiency LEO
  mobility model (GRoSP algorithm) for computation
  of the satellite orbits.
• DecemberInternal Federation Demonstration with
  OneSAF, Space Server, and CES. Verified component
  and federation connection thru RTI.

• February2nd ISR Handover integrated into OneSAF
  Version 1.0 providing Mobile Ground Station (MGS)
  capability with communications links between a
  satellite and ground C2 networks. MGS
  improvements included an imagery analyst
  representation explicit mobility
  communications and a user-modifiable time delay
  exploitation process.
• March Federation Materials/Project completed.
• July 3rd ISR Handover included Infrared Target
  Acquisition Model Multiple Sensor Payload

Communication Jammer Design

• Communication Jamming Effects
• Create two Communication Models
• Model Based on TIREM model
• Reuse TIREM message propagation for both J and S
  in J/S ratio calculation
• Complex calculations
• Model based on Degraded Comm model
• Uses simple path loss, power, frequency checks
• Less calculations than TIREM but more capable
  than existing OneSAF models
• Transmitter and receiver omni-directional
  antenna (azimuth 360)
• Jammer may have directional antenna
• Adjust jammer antenna gain due to directional
  characteristics
• Add barrage and sweep jamming modes
• Add generic jammer entities and units for testing
