5.0 Additional Requirements:

Table 2.1.5-1 Space Fence Phase-A Trade Analysis Areas ade Analysis Area

Required to

Proposed: MDT size vs. maximum orbital altitude.

Assessment: Currently MDT size requirement for NE has max altitude of 3,000 Km. reducing max altitude to 2,000 Km will significantly lower power aperture requirements result in lower production costs. Regime between 2,000 and 3,000 Km is not heavily populated with known objects—acceptable operational risk.

X

New: PD for known vs. unknown objects.

Assessment: Currently PD requirements are based on known objects penetrating the radar field. Once new objects are detected the PD for subsequent pass will probably be significantly reduced and will likely fall below current requirements. This requirement may require adjustment based on trades for known vs. unknown (UCTs)—CDD may have to contain two separate values.

X

Proposed: Capacity/Integrity requirements tied to PD requirements.

Assessment: The Capacity/Integrity requirements are coupled with both PD and MDT. They represent the required percentage of objects that must be detected over a time period—these requirements drive radar power aperture design. Based on cube shape for MDT, these requirements may be too stringent given the potentially random aspect angles that these objects will likely penetrate the radar field. If sides of cube penetrate at < 45 degree aspect angle, PD will be likely be very small. Given random distribution of penetrations, the Capacity/Integrity requirement values may be too high which will drive a much greater power aperture—more power aperture = higher cost.

Proposed: Accuracy vs. altitude.

Assessment: Two requirements associated with metric accuracy (observation accuracy and UCT initial orbit determination), drive radar volumetric coverage design. Basically for higher accuracies, longer tracking is required—longer tracking = larger volumetric coverage which = higher cost. Current accuracy requirements are only tied to major orbital regimes; however, at low altitudes (below 500 Km) these requirements may be too high, significantly increasing required volumetric coverage and corresponding costs. Trades need to be made to ensure accuracy requirements for a small number of objects (those in low altitudes) do not drive design—planning for worst case is not always the answer! These requirements may need to be further broken down by more discrete orbital regimes to keep design and costs reasonable.

New: Orbital regime coverage vs. operational mode concepts.

Assessment: Although this area has been briefly discussed recently, we have not specified this as a potential trades analysis area to explore in Phase A. Currently all capabilities for LEO and MEO coverage are required to be accomplished simultaneously. If discrete modes of operations were employed (driven by ops concept and operational needs) to enable full capability in either orbital regime but not simultaneously, power aperture requirements could be significant reduced—substantial costs savings.

X

Proposed: Target correlation vs. accuracy vs. altitude.

Assessment: Currently target correlation (ability to correctly identify detected object to cataloged object) requirements are very high. Although these requirements seem reasonable for operations, they are also tied directly to accuracy requirements previously identified. If accuracy requirements (especially for those low altitude objects) are reduced, the current target correlation requirements, if not correspondingly reduced, will again drive radar volumetric coverage design beyond what is really required for all other altitude regimes. Trades need to be made to ensure target correlation requirements for low altitude objects do not drive the design. Similar to accuracy requirements we may need to broken down target correlation requirements by more discrete orbital altitude regimes to keep design and costs reasonable.

New: “Lights out operations.”

Assessment: In light of the fact that the Space Fence radar sites will predominately operate autonomously, trade analysis should be conducted to determine the feasibility of total “lights out” remote operations. Similar studies were performed for operations of PAVE PAWS radar sites which resulted in the current operations concept for Cobra Dane (i.e., no operations personnel, only maintainers). While we currently envision Space Fence sites operating remotely via a consolidated Operations Center, we have not considered the concept for total autonomous operations with no Operations Center. Although this concept may put additional burden on C2 Centers, the cost saving could be tremendous.
