Training and Tactical Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Operations (TATOO)

摘要

The "Training and Tactical Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) Operations" (TATOO) Classroom/Laboratory is currently being developed by Star Technologies Corporation under the direction of the U. S. Air Force Research Laboratory / Human Effectiveness (AFRL/HE) Directorate. This paper will discuss the laboratory hardware and software being created to give voice to the Warfighter''s interaction with Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) satellites. The goal of the TATOO laboratory is to provide an environment for the development of procedures and protocol for tasking tactical satellites as well as an environment for training the Warfighter on the tasking process. ORS systems aim to provide operational space capabilities, as well as flexibility and responsiveness to the theater that do not exist today. ORS communication, navigation and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) satellites are designed to replace or supplement existing systems in order to enhance the current space force. These systems intend to rapidly meet near term space needs of the tactical forces. The ORS concept includes new tactical satellites specifically designed to support contingency operations such as increased communication bandwidth, and ISR imagery over the theater for a limited period to support air, ground, and naval force missions. The full potential of ORS is to support in-theater tactical forces to develop satellite tasking, data retrieval, and interface capabilities for mission operations from a Warfighter centered perspective, and to develop realistic training and simulation that allows development, demonstration, and assessment of ORS tactical Concept of Operations (CONOPS).
