ATC Awarded Air Force Self-Awareness
Space Situation Awareness (SASSA) Contract Wednesday, 22 October 2008
The Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center,
Space Superiority Systems Wing, announced today the award of a cost plus
incentive fee/fixed fee contract for $29 million to ATC for development of a
Self-Awareness Space Situations Awareness (SASSA) Demonstration System.
This acquisition is born out of the Air
Force’s need to provide threat-warning instruments and sensors for our nation’s
space-based assets. This two-year developmental project will work towards
demonstrating a viable sensing capability for high-value space assets,
including the integration of instruments and sensors for the detection,
assessment and notification of any attribute interference or attacks from
multiple threats.
ATC Completes Operationally Responsive
Space (ORS) Technology Advancement Demonstration Wednesday, 22 October 2008
The
ATC Reconfigurable RF/Digital Processor (RDP) successfully demonstrated the ability to perform high
priority responsive space missions in support of tactical operations using
advanced low power on-orbit reprogrammable processing technologies. The RDP was developed by ATC for the Naval Research
Laboratory (NRL) and the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Technology
(ORSTECH) Program. These technologies have a wide range of space
and airborne applications, including the Air Force SASSA System, the Marine UAS
Software Reconfigurable Payload (SRP) System and similar reconfigurable systems
required for critical space and airborne missions.
