The Space Domain Awareness TAP Lab ensures space superiority missions succeed by rapidly onboarding apps to close gaps. We decompose kill chains, prioritize needs with operators, map needs to technologies, and onboard technology to existing platforms -- getting solutions into operations quickly. We need to partner with industry, academia, and across the government to succeed.

#Space is the high ground.
While speaking at the Department of the Air Force Summit, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth stated that space is the domain of the future: "I feel like there's no way to ignore the fact that the next and the most important domain of warfare will be the space domain." He emphasized that the United States Air Force and United States Space Force are key to deterring and engaging in future conflicts. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gKaRhb2W

Lt. Gen. Schiess spoke at the AFA Warfare Symposium in Aurora, Colorado, March 4 about the important role commercial partnerships play in the Space Force to provide real-time and near real-time information flow for a rapid, informed response to space events and to improve Space Domain Awareness. S4S has invited Commercial Mission Partners who are a part of our Commercial Integration Cell to be a part of our weekly O&I meetings, we’ve included them in our Joint Space Operations Plan, and these partners have a seat on our Combined Space Operations Center floor where they can provide and receive real-time data that helps us protect our assets and deliver combat relevant space effects. Through the Commercial Integration Office, S4S ensures proper and timely integration of commercial space solutions into its day-to-day operations, supporting a range of mission areas. This includes incorporating the commercial sector in wargames, exercises, and training. #AlliesandPartners #AFAColorado #USSpaceForce #AFAWarfareSymposium

About 1.5 years ago, then-Lt Gen Guetlein directed Maj Sean Allen to stand up the SDA TAP Lab. We set a course to bring together small business, academics, and SDA operators together to tackle the problems facing space operators by developing tools they can use to deter and win conflicts in space. Yesterday, we were proud to invite the now VCSO to see our progress on that task. The Apollo Accelerator has grown explosively, and so has the capability of our toolsets. We were able to demonstrate sensor orchestration, state estimation and improvement, target database enrichment, hostility analysis, launch detection, suspicious activity attribution, uncorrelated track resolution, response recommendation, and more. Each piece of these functions are automated and we are actively integrating them into a cohesive battle management system that we're calling Welder's Arc. We showed Gen Guetlein the power of aligning objectives around a shared vision for space dominance, and he recognized our ability to bring parties together to quickly build useful capabilities in ways that much of the rest of DoD cannot. It was a truly great moment for the lab, and a great affirmation of our progress. We're excited to be building the future of the United States Space Force! There have been hundreds, perhaps more than a thousand people who have helped the lab along the way, and a few who made this particular event a big success. Thank you! Johnathan Jordan, D.Eng.
