1. OBJECTIVES

Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Satellite Assessment Center (SatAC) overarching objectives include accelerating the advancement of Directed Energy (DE) modeling, simulation, analysis and assessment knowledge and technical capabilities to support protection of strategic United States (US) Space interests.

Realizing those objectives will require modernization and enhancement of SatAC DE modeling, simulation, analysis and assessment software applications (Tools) as well as SatAC information technology (IT) infrastructure. This is the program objective of Satellite Assessment Tools for Unique Research Needs, or SATURN.

The enhanced SatAC Tool suite will enable responsive SatAC mission partner experimentation in the Space Control (SC), Space Domain Awareness (SDA), and Defensive Counter Space (DCS) operational domains. In this way, SatAP will directly participate in and contribute to achievement of strategic US national Space goals, such as the 2020 Defense Space Strategy (DSS) objective to “Maintain Space Superiority.”

2. SCOPE

For the purposes of this acquisition, SatAC scope is organized in four, interdependent Technical Areas:

1) SatAC Data & Information Curation; 2) DE Effects Models, Simulations, Analyses, and Assessments;

3) DE Modeling Simulation and Analysis Tool Development; and 4) SatAC Infrastructure Modernization.

The SatAC mission integrates all four technical areas to satisfy mission partner requirements in an environment of rapidly increasing demand, emerging requirements, and evolving, dynamic threats;

however, SATURN program scope addresses only Technical Area #3, and #4. Technical Areas #1 and #2 are presented above for reference and context only regarding the overall SatAC mission, and are not in scope for SATURN as that is addressed through a separate, complementary acquisition effort. Detail is provided in Table 4 - Government Work Breakdown Structure (GWBS).

3. BACKGROUND

Increasing use of DE to conduct satellite range finding, measurement calibration, and imaging, combined with growing international interest in the application of DE for space control, levies an evolving set of requirements on SatAC for quantitative and qualitative analysis and assessment of DE effects on space systems.

The Satellite Assessment Program (SatAP) is a key component of the AFRL Directed Energy and Electro-Optics for Space Superiority (DEEOSS) Core Technical Competency (CTC) portfolio. The SatAP mission is executed through the SatAC, and delivers key DEEOSS CTC objectives through DE Effects experimentation, testing, design, development, modeling, simulation, analysis, and assessment of Space System DE vulnerabilities.

Space Systems are defined to include satellites, ballistic missile re-entry vehicles, certain boosters/launch vehicles used to attack other space objects or the US homeland from inter-continental distances, and their enabling supporting architectures.

SatAC supplies the critical DE effects data, analyses, and technical assessments required by more than a dozen mission partners including, but not limited to, the Unites States Space Force (USSF), United States Space Command (USSPACECOM), Laser Clearinghouse (LCH), National Space Defense Center (NSDC), Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) NG OPIR, the Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP), United States Army Tactical High Energy Laser (THEL) program, National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), Naval Surface Warfare Center, the Air Force Warfighting Integration Capability (AFWIC), other AFRL programs, and other Federal Agencies. Mission Partner requirements are also accepted by SatAC to address critical technology gaps identified by other US Government agencies concerned with responsive delivery of Space Threat Indications & Warnings in-time for an operationally relevant response.

Historically, SatAC supplies have been produced using legacy application software and hardware connected to closed network enclaves, and delivered on physical media. While the environment has marginally improved in recent years for some deliverables, SatAC mission partners increasingly call for web-based access to SatAC supplies, tools, and data sources to enable direct production of the experimentation, and decision information they require. SatAC Tools and infrastructure currently do not support that functionality.

Primary SatAC Tools include, but are not limited to, Advanced Materials Bidirectional Reflectance (AMBiR), AFRL Tools for Lasers and Satellites v 2.0 (ATLAS 2.0), Computation Omni Analysis Simulation Toolkit (COAST), Laser to Space Test Risk Assessment Tool (L-STRAT), STERLING/Archer/ SEEKR (SAS), Simulation Toolset for Architectural Requirements of SDA with Impact to Mission (STARSIM), Space-object Probabilistic Density (SPD++), and Time-domain Analysis Simulation for Advanced Tracking (TASAT). These capabilities operate at multiple classification levels on a variety of computer network systems.

In addition to satellite data and DE Modeling, Simulation, Analysis (MS&A), and Assessment resources, SatAC frequently supplies mission partners with subject matter expert domain knowledge of the underlying physics, and engineering function of Space and Ground Based Sensors, the data products they produce, as well as the relevant SatAC Tools that depend on the sensor data.

4. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

SatAC technical requirements are ultimately focused on maintaining an uninterrupted ability to deliver mission essential supplies and capabilities that enable DE experimentation and test, while innovating through new data synthesis strategies, increasing business agility, becoming more responsive to emerging customer needs, creating opportunities to leverage new partnerships, and delivering greater value.

SatAC assessments, studies, analyses, models, and simulations produced and supplied to mission partners are very tightly coupled with the SatAC developed highly specialized software applications and SatAC curated data repositories.

The in-scope technical area requirements described in this section must be satisfied to accomplish SATURN objectives and ensure SatAC Tool modernization. Successful design, development, tests, and implementation of enhanced SatAC Tools is dependent on a modernized SatAC Information Technology (IT) infrastructure (hardware, software, network(s), security, certifications, and accreditations).

Accordingly, the Government desires design, development, test, and implementation of advanced DE Effects Modeling, Simulation, Analysis, and Assessment Tools, via modern digital systems and software design and development methodologies to establish an objective, integrated digital ecosystem.

An overview of the Government Work Breakdown Structure for the entire RaDSAt effort is provided below in Table 4. Task identifications 1.1 and 1.2 are the relevant portions for STARS (provided for context), whereas 1.3 and 1.4 are for SATURN.

Table 4. Government Work Breakdown Structure (GWBS)

4.1. Satellite Assessment Center (SatAC) Data & Information Curation [GWBS 1.1] This section is provided as supplemental information only. GWBS 1.4 pertains to the STARS Requirement.

Categories of Data and information collected and managed in SatAC databases and repositories include, but are not limited to, Satellite and Space material property data, materials test and analysis data and attributes such as solid density, specific heat, thermal conductivity, solar absorptivity, broadband emissivity, reflectance, and associated attributes in support of modeling, simulation, analysis and assessment based production of SatAC supplies.

4.2. DE Effects Modeling, Simulation Analysis, and Assessment [GWBS 1.2] This section is provided as supplemental information only. GWBS 1.2 pertains to the STARS Requirement.

Research, Assessments, Studies, and Analysis activities require the appropriate domain Subject Matter Expert (SME) support, training, and expertise in the use of SatAC developed Tools, and complementary Space and DE MS&A applications. The breadth and depth of the SME’s knowledge required is implicit in the description of the supply item described, or referenced, in this section. It is significant to recognize that SatAC shares collected satellite and materials data with mission partners as a supply item, in addition to the data feeding SatAC MS&A Tools for production of higher-order supply items described in this section.

Physics and engineering based DE models, simulations, analyses, and assessments are the foundational supplies produced by SatAC and delivered to mission partners in support of their experimentation and test activities. To accomplish SatAC supply objectives, the portfolio of SatAC Tools, data repositories, and underlying infrastructure must be modernized and enhanced as discussed in Section 4.3.

4.3. DE Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) Tool Development [GWBS 1.3] SatAC executes a critical and unique mission to deliver the best supplies possible to SatAC mission partners. Production of SatAC supplies depends on highly specialized, Government developed, DE MS&A and assessment software applications, and the underlying infrastructure on which they operate.

To enable timely, operationally relevant responses to emerging DE threats and ensure satisfaction of evolving SatAC mission partner requirements through delivery of preeminent DE experimentation and test supplies, the SatAC portfolio of applications, data repositories, and supporting infrastructure must first be transformed.

MS&A systems development requires extensive expertise in software development and management of complex application inter-relationships and external dependencies as a software architecture ecosystem.

The level of SME engagement with the development team will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the complexity and maturity of the application, modifications planned, and testing required.

While each SatAC MS&A Tool and corresponding outputs are separate supply items, opportunities exist to evolve individual components towards a more integrated, new supply item, or to recombine elements of current supply items into a new supply item.

In this regard, the Government is interested in research, design experimentation and implementation of enhanced capabilities across the SatAC portfolio of DE applications and supporting infrastructure to establish a digital ecosystem that is interoperable with and contributes to the establishment of a Digital Space Force as described in “U.S. Space Force Vision for a Digital Service,” SF/CTIO, May 2021.

Except where noted, all SatAC Tools will be integrated into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem.

4.3.1. Materials Analysis Software Development and Sustainment [GWBS 1.3.1]

4.3.1.1. AMBiR

Advanced Materials Bidirectional Reflectance (AMBiR) is a current SatAC Tool and database designed to fit Bi-directional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) measurement data to empirical, physics-based mathematic models. While the AMBiR Tool in its current form will not be migrated, key materials analysis capabilities represented by AMBiR will be incorporated into the objective SatAC digital ecosystem.

4.3.2. Photometric and Radiometric Modeling Software Development [GWBS 1.3.2]

4.3.2.1. COAST

Computation Omni Analysis Simulation Toolkit (COAST) is SatAC’s next-generation, physics-based image simulation software application. COAST is designed to assess electro-optical system performance, and generate accurate optical radiometric spacecraft, aircraft, and missile images based on geometric, atmospheric, and sensor engineering models.

In addition to the integration of COAST into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem, primary COAST development activities will focus on continuing a previously begun effort to port sixteen (16) software modules from the legacy Time-domain Analysis Simulation for Advanced Tracking (TASAT) Tool.

TASAT is a physics-based Modeling and Simulation (M&S) application, written in FORTRAN, for radiometric modeling of space object signatures, and is used to perform photometric and radiometric imagery analysis. TASAT modules chosen for COAST integration represent new functionality (ray tracing, for example), reduced simulation times, increased simulation accuracy, and improved utility. To date, three (3) modules have been successfully ported to COAST. The remaining thirteen (13) will be integrated through SATURN.

For COAST and TASAT, only COAST will be integrated into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem.

4.3.3. Military Utility Assessment Software Development [GWBS 1.3.3] SatAC performs assessments of the military utility of proposed new imaging systems and methodologies for performing SDA and other Space Superiority missions. In cases where available applications are not adequate to simulate the necessary scenarios, development of new functionality is required.

4.3.3.1. STARSIM

Simulation Toolset for Architectural Requirements of SDA with Impact to Mission, or STARSIM, is built on the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) architecture, which enables SatAC to provide mission partners with simulated radiometric imagery and SDA constructs (i.e.

cataloging, tasking, search patterns, etc.) associated with ground-based telescope networks performing SDA missions.

For example, pairing STARSIM with the Wide-Eye, Narrow-Eye Space Situational Awareness (WENESSA) study in support of Directed Energy Military Utility Analyses (DEMUA) enables the capability to simulate detection of Resident Space Objects (RSO) at GEO, and provides indication and warning that an unknown RSO is in a position to threaten a High Value Asset (HVA). To continue to deliver this type of high value utility to SatAC mission partners, the Government seeks design, evaluation, and implementation for the purposes of enhancing STARSIM with significant additional customer driven features and functions may include, but are not limited to:

• Integration of SensorIQ into STARSIM/AFSIM

• Laser Ranging capabilities

• LADAR based rapid orbit determination

• LADAR military utility trade study features

4.3.4. Threat Engagement Modeling (TEM) Software Development [GWBS 1.3.4]

4.3.4.1. ATLAS 2.0

The AFRL Tool for Lasers Against Satellites, version 2 (ATLAS 2.0) is an end-to-end laser/satellite engagement capability designed to simulate various aspects of laser propagation to and their effects on satellites. ATLAS 2.0 supplies the ability to evaluate DE propagation of a laser from ground to space; the ability to evaluate the impact of laser exposures/DE illuminations on satellite components; the ability to predict risk of damage to focal plane arrays, evaluate impact to imagery collection capability, and assess ultimate operational mission impact.

Requests from SatAC Mission Partners continue to increase for physics-based analysis and assessment in the form of Satellite Information Folders (SIFs). To satisfy rising demand, the Government desires to continue to enhance ATLAS 2.0 capabilities and other SatAC capabilities that bear on SIF production.

In addition to integration into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem, known ATLAS 2.0 development requirements to be addressed include capability gaps present at its initial release (Q4 FY21), as well as feature enhancements identified by analysts through early and continued use of the SatAC Tool.

4.3.5. Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Modeling Software Development [GWBS 1.3.5]

4.3.5.1. L-STRAT/SPD++

SatAC co-developed the Laser to Space Test Risk Assessment Tool (L-STRAT). L-STRAT is a PRA analysis application designed to support higher levels of laser firing experimentation and test activity, and ensure satellite safety through generation of sure-safe, open window PRA Plans based on customer provided scenarios and laser specification information. L-STRAT PRA functionality is implemented through the SatAC developed Space-object Probabilistic Density (SPD++) software module in accordance with CJCSI 3225.01A.

The Government desires research, design, development, experimentation, and test to continue L-STRAT enhancement, and in turn, deliver best supplies in less time and with greater accuracy and operational relevance in support of SatAC partner experimentation and test campaigns.

In addition to integration into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem, specific, known requirements for new features and feature enhancements include:

• An SPD++ interface specification to facilitate integration with external applications

• Performance optimization of the SPD++ engine

• LCH Laser Categorization as defined in CJCSI 3225.01A

• A PRA Test Planning Tool

• Test Geometry Optimization Tool

• Live Weather Feed

4.3.6. Satellite Database and Knowledge Repository Development [GWBS 1.3.6]

4.3.6.1. STERLING Archer SEEKR (SAS)

The Satellite Technical Evaluation Research Library and Information Nexus Generator (STERLING), Archer, Satellite Engineering Enterprise Knowledge Repository (SEEKR), or SAS, is a framework that enables web-based, distributed, directed energy satellite assessments across multiple classifications and geographic locations via a cloud-based data and application hosting services. This capability supplies mission partners with the ability to directly leverage SatAC Tools and data to produce real-time mission assessments. SAS is an on-going effort to modernize and federate SatAC’s multiple data repositories to make them easily accessible and widely available to mission partners. Currently, SAS is composed of a three-tiered architecture including, 1) STERLING - User Interface functionality; 2) Archer - Middleware and API functionality for external application integration; and, 3) SEEKR - Diverse, Specialized SatAC data and information repositories. It is highly desired that all future SatAC Tool development leverages SAS framework as much as practical, to enhance and extend SAS to meet potential future cross-application data requirements.

Future objectives for SAS include transitioning SEEKR to the United States Space Force (USSF) Unified Data Library (UDL). SAS will be integrated into the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem.

4.3.7. Multi-Domain Space Testbed Development [GWBS 1.3.7]

Space Control (SC) testbed solutions in use today can be characterized as proprietary, program-specific, single domain, stovepipe solutions that ultimately impede efforts to better equip the warfighter through smart integration and federation of SC requirements and capabilities. Space Domain solutions development and trade studies performed in this type of environment often result in Space centric approaches with sub-optimal technical solutions that are not cost efficient. Warfighters, Operators, Joint Commanders, and other Stakeholders have expressed dissatisfaction with current Space testbed environments. Multi-Domain Space Testbed (MDST) will address this by providing a new framework and enabling infrastructure for optimal solution space analysis that integrates Space, terrestrial, operational, and inter-system cooperative effects. Key capabilities, features, and infrastructure to be delivered by MDST include, but are not limited to:

• Accurate and repeatable means to test survivability, lethality, and perform trade studies of multi-domain space capabilities tied to operational warfighting architectures and impacts

• Modular, open source based infrastructure that enables operators to keep pace with rapid development of multi-domain threats, reduce risk, and accelerate test planning and execution

• Well-defined architecture based on open source standards to include Software Bus Standards, Internetworking Protocols, Heterogeneous Machine-to-Machine Interoperability Toolchain, and External Interface Security Protocols.

• Capability to perform trade studies across domains leading to “best domain” solutions driven by mission level requirements and test results

• Capability to quickly assess warfighting value, through rapid testing, of new systems, sub-systems and components; with emphasis on commercial products based open standards

• Universal Hardware-in-the-loop lab resources and data repositories: Test components and systems to inform cross-mission and cross-domain CONOPS, TTPs, and acquisitions

4.3.7.1. Multi-Domain Space Testbed

Full realization of MDST objectives will require Satellite Assessment Center (SatAC) expertise and support, delivered through SATURN, to research, develop, implement, integrate, and experiment MDST key capabilities to ensure all Military Service and Intelligence Community partner geographically separated MDST nodes interoperate securely, efficiently, and effectively across a federated digital engineering ecosystems. Development, integration, experimentation, and analysis activities will be performed in several research areas, to include SC and SDA, and will involve system-of-systems at Initial Operational Capability (IOC) and Final Operational Capability (FOC) states, sub-systems, hybrid/virtual systems, models/digital twins, and simulations. Capabilities delivered through MDST will reduce reliance on on-orbit testing, and can be packaged to achieve focused objectives ranging from Design and Costing, to Space Control and Space Force Enhancement.

4.4. SatAC Infrastructure Modernization [GWBS 1.4]

Satisfying SATURN objectives and Technical Requirements will require evaluation, planning, design, development, and implementation of state-of-the-art, cutting edge information technology to modernize SatAC experimentation, test, and analysis infrastructure. The Government desires to modernize its infrastructure to enable continuous improvement of SatAC’s ability to help mission partners respond to emerging threats through mastery of agile, efficient, and effective business practices, supply production, and product delivery processes.

IT Infrastructure Modernization requires a mix of skilled software and computer system architects, engineers, and technicians to plan and execute modernization efforts consistent with SatAC requirements and resource constraints while maintaining full functional capability. The Government desires innovative approaches for Tool and process documentation, training that enables users to understand and make use of SatAC system and software capabilities without requiring assistance. The Government’s own computing and network resources, limitations, and security requirements must be addressed in plans for systems that host, or interact with, SatAC Tools. This includes documenting requirements, a plan to deliver them, and providing SME support for Government approval and accreditation processes commensurate with managing and provisioning capabilities on multiple, separately managed networks.

The Government is very interested in leveraging current and emerging cutting edge information technologies such as High Performance Computing (HPC), Autonomous Systems, Real Time Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Big Data, Digital Engineering, Model Based Systems Engineering, and Digital Collaboration solutions to reengineer its MS&A Tools environment, and increase SatAC mission responsiveness and operational agility. The Government desires to research, evaluate, design, redesign, experiment and implement solutions within these technical capability areas to supply SatAC and its mission partners with the ability to fully exploit the unmatched, growing Satellite and Space Object data and information repositories created and maintained by SatAC over a period or more than three decades.

The Government desires to leverage state-of-the-art, digital ecosystem strategies, data collection and analysis processes and enabling capabilities characterized by: 1) Modern user interface design to enhance user experience, and implement web-deployment friendly toolchains; 2) Extensible, interoperable, modular system-of-system architectures to force-multiply SatAC’s extensive Tool and data repository resources; 3) Development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) culture and Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) automation; 4) Advanced, secure, distributed architectures compatible with select Government cloud environment(s); 5) High Performance Computing efficiencies; 6) Data quality, integrity, access and security management best practices; 7) Standardized data interchange protocols and interfaces to facilitate data portability. The Government considers the USAF Unified Data Library (UDL) a potential objective platform for future data distribution, and possible future data source.

Strategies to achieve the modernization objectives presented in this section are sought, and should be addressed as an addendum to the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP); with emphasis on reengineering the SatAC MS&A environment to establish the objective SatAC Digital Ecosystem,.

4.4.1. Data and Information Collection and Management Strategies

Secure, highly available, resilient, distributed database technology and advanced architectures are key enablers of SATURN program objectives. The Government desires concept evaluation, design, development, and implementation of advanced, state-of-the-art, distributed enterprise class data base technologies to maximize data storage and retrieval flexibility, utility analysis, and to present SatAC mission partners with secure, enhanced access to comprehensive satellite materials data, and satellite vulnerability information. Key characteristics of this technical area include multi-domain security/data replication/synchronization; HPC integration; advanced user interfaces/ease-of-use; high availability, reliability and maintainability; support for data analytics, reduced operations and sustainment cost; and support for legacy SatAC Tools and databases.

The Government is particularly interested in design and implementation of innovative architectures and technologies to enable web-based, searchable, multiple classification level data collection, management, quality control, access control, dissemination and curation of SatAC repository data and information.

4.4.2. Digital Engineering Ecosystem Pathfinding

The Government desires to research, develop experiment, test, and deliver Highly Efficient Computing (HEC)-enabled, Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) capabilities via Maui High-Performance Computing Center (MHPCC), Maui Marketplace Digital Engineering environment. This effort will synchronize SatAC with the Chief of Space Operation’s (CSO) priority to establish USSF as a fully Digital Service from the outset, and positions AFRL to contribute to the Air Force Material Command (AFMC) vision for enabling digital transformation Air Force wide.
