Description
Space Innovation Integration, and Rapid Technology Development, aims to deliver enterprise capabilities and solutions to maintain space domain superiority in an evolving environment. It includes the development of enterprise space training capabilities via a system-of-systems architecture, collaborative systems/platforms, networks, modeling and simulation tools, and training services necessary for a full spectrum of interoperable, on-demand, multi-mission training capabilities to meet USSF and mission partner requirements. The program also develops and modifies modeling and simulation tools used for operations research, military utility analyses, tradeoff studies, and other evaluations of space mission areas to guide planning, programming, requirements generation, analyses of alternatives, and other activities. Its innovation, education, and training activities foster solutions to operational deficiencies and enhance the integration of space systems into Space Force operations.
Additionally, the Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) under this program delivers essential warfighting readiness and Guardian space education capabilities across various operational Deltas and USSF mission partners. This includes unit-level training for mission operator qualification, advanced training for threat-driven tactics development, interoperable exercise services including connectivity to Distributed Mission Operations - Space (DMO-S) training networks and modeling and simulation tools integration. The program aims to provide interoperable, evolvable, scalable, resilient 24/7 on-demand platforms and environments to ensure warfighter readiness to operate in a Contested, Degraded, and Operationally limited (CDO) domain. The development activities include planning, designing, building, fielding new and enhanced systems/tools into the overall architecture to ensure USSF enterprise readiness to fight in any scenario.
