Purpose
  • Rationale for responsive space
  • Changing face of warfare in information age
  • Asymmetric and adaptive enemy
  • Network Centric Warfare (NCW)
  • Responsive space attributes/elements to enable
    tactical capabilities and effects
  • Multiple approaches to responsive space
  • Responsive lift, payload integration and
    initialization
  • Responsive spacecraft payload reconfiguration
  • Responsive maneuver or optimization
  • Tactical satellite (TacSat) mission opportunities

Responsive SpaceA Component of the Joint Force
  • Attributes of Responsive Space
  • Tailorable payload and coverage for emergent
    operational needs (address niches)
  • Low cost / risk tolerant
  • Global, persistent/prompt, access to denied areas
  • Tactical control of payload, direct-to-theater,
    cross-platform missions
  • Enables global strike within 2 hrs from an alert
    posture against wide array of anti-access and
    hardened targets without need to forward deploy
  • Allows critical warfighting capabilities to be
    replaced in the event of Red Force attack
  • Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
    (ISR)
  • Precision Navigation Timing (PNT)
  • Communications
  • Augment the operational warfighters ability to
    conduct time-sensitive operations (Targeting/BDA)

Tactical Satellite (TacSat) and microsat
initiatives are key components of Operationally
Responsive Space

Responsive Space Objective Timelines
Development
Deployment
Operations
Months
Seconds
  • Development Time required to design, build, and
    test spacecraft hardware
  • Currently 2 to 10 years
  • To counter adversarys changing tactics and
    adaptations, new/niche warfighter capabilities
    must be developed within 6-9 months
  • Deployment Time required to integrate, launch,
    and deliver space systems
  • Currently 3 to 12 months
  • To support responsive operations, space-based
    assets must be in place and ready for operation
    within hours of a request for support
  • Operate Time required to deliver
    products/effects
  • Current timelines depend on system/mission,
    typically hours/days
  • To support a tactical user, space system
    operations must respond in timelines consistent
    with battlefield operations (continuous/seconds)

Breaking the Risk Cycle
11
Breaking the Risk Cycle
  • Paradigm Shift
  • Small Empowered Teams
  • Fixed Cost/Secure Funding
  • Performance as a Dependent Variable
  • Compressed Schedule
  • Rapid Prototyping Development
  • Unproven/Advanced Technologies
  • Prudent Analysis Testing

Cost-Commensurate Risk Tolerant
Rapid Development
12
TacSat Initiative Approach
13
One Concept Magic Orbit
  • Responsive Wartime deployment
  • Continuous 24/7 rolling start service during
    major conflicts
  • Fast burn to inject into Magic Orbit (2 hrs
    deployment)
  • Advantages of Magic Orbit for Tactical User
  • Persistence Small constellation results in near
    24/7 coverage over theater
  • Higher performance - Lower altitude
  • Predictable coverage - Repeating ground track

position awareness
  • Capabilities
  • Multi-band receivers
  • UHF Military LOS, MSS
  • L/S-band
  • MSS Iridium, Globalstar, Thuraya, ICO
  • Aircraft position reporting
  • SHF feeder link to GIG-BE regional node
  • Option downlink transmitter
  • 5MHz DoD band or full Iridium band

BLUE MAJIC Top Level Theater Architecture
CONUS Reachback Provided by Existing GEO Comsats
Linked to MAJIC Satellites
GPS Satellites Provides Position Information
Microsats Achieve Highly Elliptical (Magic) Orbit
w/Low Cost LV (3-5 Satellites Provide 24/7
Theater Coverage)
Communication System MAJIC Microsats in Magic
Orbits Offer Comm Architecture to the Field in
Real Time, w/GEO Reachback
Information System Ground Troops outfitted with
Personal Data Transmitters (PDTs) in Theater
Xmit GPS Location and Identity to MAJIC
Microsats, in Turn to CAOC
Combined Air Ops Center (CAOC) In Theater
VMGS Terminal Connects Theater w/CONUS
PDTs
RASCAL/FALCON Provide Launch On- Demand Directly

Comm Terminals
MAJIC Provides Theater Users Commanders with
Pre-Deployed Troop Asset Location and Comm Access

Target Detection and IDHyper-Spectral Imaging
(HSI)
Counter-Deception
Counter-Camouflage
CBRNE Detection
  • In JEFX, real time HSI targeting data uploaded to
    F-15 cockpit
  • HSI identified bare, camouflaged, and decoy
    targets
  • Bare and camouflaged targets were under trees and
    not seen by F-15 FLIRs

18
FALCON Demo Common Aero Vehicle
  • Capabilities enabled by responsive spacelift
  • Strike targets anywhere from CONUS in 120 minutes
    or less.
  • Increased warfighting capability against hard and
    deeply buried targets.
  • Minimizes over flight and landing issues and
    concerns.
  • Avoids risk to flight crews
  • Relatively invulnerable to anti-access threats.
  • Cost competitive with other platforms
  • Approx. Performance Requirements
  • Precision strike
  • Variety of conventional payloads
  • In-flight target updates
  • Worldwide, all weather range

Responds to DPG and NPR requirements for
long-range prompt precision strike and the
evolution of systems to overcome anti-access
technologies and tactics
Only prompt conventional means to strike fleeting
targets from outside theater
19
Conclusion
  • Transformational payloads provide direct support
    to the tactical warfighter
  • Changes to current way of doing business is
    required to meet development, deployment, and
    operation timelines
  • Collaboration of responsive launch and payload
    programs will ensure US relevancy in space
  • TacSat initiative and microsats are critical
    elements of the Operationally Responsive Space
    vision
