Initial Comments

• Welcome!

• This effort represents significant steps forward to develop and deliver key ORS enablers focused on standing up a Tier 2 capability – Creating the infrastructure—industry and govt teams, contract

vehicles, MOSA implementation, bricks and mortar necessary to sustain and grow

– Building the architecture—payloads, buses, rapid response space works

– Demonstrating the capability

• Thank you!!!

- Assured Space Power Focused on Timely Satisfaction of Joint Force Commanders’ Needs - ORS OFFICE

• Develop end-to-end ORS enablers required to meet JFCs’ need for highly responsive space capabilities:– Satellite payload tasking and sensor data processing, exploitation and

dissemination– Responsive space CONOPS– Satellite payloads and busses– Space launch vehicles and supporting range operations– Satellite telemetry, tracking, command and control – Authorities necessary for achieving ORS objectives

• Execute rapid end-to-end capability efforts to meet emerging JFC operational needs– Augment, reconstitute, or implement new capability– Complementary to fielded space capabilities– Coordinated ORS planning, acquisition, and ops across DoD

Innovation Philosophy

1. Understand the heart of the customer

– Engage Warfighter in developing ORS capabilities

2. Control critical lead-time drivers– Reduce process variation via

Modular, Open-Systems Architecture

3. Utilize open innovation– Enforce modular, open systems

standards– Establish government owned flight

software libraries– Leverage resources across space

community

Tenets

• Develop ORS Enablers by conducting end-to-end missions

• Every ORS mission

−Exercises ORS CONOPs, demonstrates ops utility, and/or

−Advances ORS enablers• Block development strategy that

leverages service S&T/Acq organizations

• Focus primarily on ORS Tier 2/3• Execute limited number of small Tier 1

initiatives • Work with services for Operational

Transition

ORS Office Philosophy and Tenets

ORS & NASA Collaboration

1. Directly addresses high-level policy direction to collaborate in the advancement of innovative technologies

2. Leverages broad community involvement to capitalize on small satellite development efforts

3. Creates a pathway to identify and insert the next generation of space systems and technologies into NASA, DoD, and Commercial Space Programs

4. ORS Office Director Ltr dtd, 4 Jun 09, “To capitalize on their collective expertise, I have established an Integrated Product Team in which, initially, NASA ARC will lead overall contracting, programmatic, and system engineering activities…with support and participation from SMDC, SDTW, and SPAWAR.”
