A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
In FY 2021, PE 1203614F, JSpOC Mission System, Project 67A035, Enterprise Space BMC2 efforts were transferred to Appropriation 3620, Research, Development,
Test & Evaluation, Space Force, Budget Activity 08, PE 1203614SF, Space C2 from Appropriation 3600, Budget Activity 07 due to the creation of a new Appropriation
for Space Force and a new Budget Activity for Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs.
This effort is not a new start. The FY 2018 NDAA Sections 873/874 directed OSD to streamline software development. Space Command and Control (C2) is an OSD
pilot initiative in which all lifecycle funding will be tracked under BA08, Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs. Pilot programs will test the ability to execute
modern software development practices encompassing development, procurement, modification and maintenance activities. The Space C2 pilot program in PE
1203614SF, RDT&E, Space Force, BA08 includes funds transferred from PE 1203614F, JSpOC Mission Systems (RDT&E and SPAF), Air Force and Operations and
Maintenance, Air Force.
The Space Force is developing a Space Command and Control (Space C2) and Space Situational Awareness (SSA) capability for the Combined Force Space
Component Commander (CFSCC). The enterprise-wide system will provide a common government infrastructure and standards for rapid prototyping of dynamic SSA
and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2) applications to address the evolving and dynamic threat. The system will provide a collaborative environment
that will enhance and modernize SSA and BMC2 capabilities; create decision-relevant views of the space environment; rapidly detect, track and characterize objects of
interest; identify / exploit traditional and non-traditional sources; perform space threat analysis; and enable efficient distribution of data across the Space Surveillance
Network (SSN). Funding includes technical studies, development, experimentation, integration and related support costs.
Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to emerging adversary threats. Space & Missile Systems Center (SMC) is transforming the organization and
implementation of space acquisition to an enterprise approach, maximizing innovation and resiliency, leveraging international, commercial, and mission partnerships,
and managing program/project priorities according to an integrated unclassified/classified enterprise space architecture. Expanding the appropriate acquisition
authorities and contract mechanisms to deliver capability sooner, SMC will strategically execute experimentation, prototyping, risk reduction, and other efforts to develop
new or repurpose capabilities.
This Program Element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver Space C2 weapon system capability. The use of such
program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in Program Elements 1206392SF and 1206398SF.
