7 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2020–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Description

Mission — Space Superiority - Advanced Intelligence Systems

The Space Superiority Intelligence (SSI) program provides intelligence for key find, fix, track, target, engage, and assess requirements supporting Space Superiority activities meeting Combatant Command (CCMD) needs for Space Operations Command (SpOC). SSI funds developmental intelligence activities to support new space superiority capability acquisition and development. Funds associated developmental intelligence Planning and direction, Collection, Processing and exploitation, Analysis and production, Dissemination and integration (PCPAD) capabilities providing Battlespace Awareness and Space Domain Awareness (SDA) in support of Space Superiority and Space Control. This includes funding for fixed and transportable intelligence collection; Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED); analysis and production capabilities that are modular (plug-and-play); meet Risk Management Framework Accreditation requirements and can keep pace with technological advances and emerging threats. It provides intelligence support systems for SDA activities that provide the requisite current and predictive knowledge of space events and threat conditions and intelligence support to the Space Security and Defense Program (SSDP) by providing architectural survivability analysis of critical mission assets for mission assurance, as well as network analysis. It also supports specialized/tailored, phased threat system analysis and studies (A&S), test support, lab equipment, and Material Acquisition and Exploitation (MAE) for system development, vulnerability, susceptibility assessments to support tactics, techniques and procedures (TTP) development, and future threat technology studies necessary for mission area success, achievement of space superiority, and to preserve the US space advantage across all domains. Space acquisition must respond with speed and agility to the proliferation of emerging space adversary threats and new technologies. In support of these nascent, cutting edge space acquisition capabilities, Space Superiority Intelligence provides exquisite, crucial cryptologic and other intelligence through transformational collection and production activities through the rapid development and fielding of fixed and transportable intelligence architectures capable of front-end collection and analysis of new technologies in near real time. Space Superiority and Space Control is only realized through Space Superiority Intelligence support on the front end of space acquisition, allowing increased innovation and resiliency in support of changing program/project priorities to respond and to operate in the contested space domain, as well as supporting lifecycle experimentation, prototyping, and risk reduction. Supports USSPACECOM Space Domain Awareness Initial Capabilities Document (ICD), February 2022. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.

Follow the dollar

No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →

Awards

No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.

Lobbying mentions

No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.

Oversight

Department-level designation (not specific to this program)

GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Space Superiority ISR. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.

Program dossier

No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
