Space Innovation, Integration and Rapid Technology Development

The Space Innovation, Integration, and Rapid Technology Development (SIIRTD) program aims to enhance the United States Space Force's capabilities in maintaining space domain superiority. This initiative focuses on delivering enterprise solutions that ensure combat readiness and address evolving threats. It includes two primary projects: Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) and Space Analysis and Application Development (SA&AD). These projects are designed to provide advanced training systems and analytical tools necessary for operational assessments and strategic planning.

Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) is dedicated to building a comprehensive training architecture that supports readiness against current and potential threats. The project emphasizes high-fidelity mission-specific simulators, threat-representative models, and synthetic digital environments for distributed training exercises. ETSD also focuses on integrating these capabilities into a Virtual Space Training and Exercise Environment (VSTEE), which facilitates interoperable, threat-based training across various missions such as Missile Warning, Space Domain Awareness, and Orbital Warfare.

Space Analysis and Application Development (SA&AD) enhances the ability to conduct operational analysis through advanced modeling and simulation tools. This project supports the Space Operations Command by providing data-driven insights for decision-making in contested space environments. SA&AD aims to develop AI/ML applications for tasks like conjunction assessment and satellite maneuver prediction, ensuring adaptability to new challenges swiftly. Additionally, it focuses on improving digital tools for operational assessments, enabling a more effective response to multi-domain threats.

The SIIRTD program seeks to integrate innovative technologies into existing frameworks while developing new capabilities that enhance strategic advantage in space operations. By focusing on both training development and analytical enhancements, the program ensures personnel are well-prepared to face emerging threats with state-of-the-art resources at their disposal.
