 Tactical
Science Solutions (TSS) has developed a design scenario called
Quicklook, which is robust enough to answer the OMG Systems Modeling Language (OMG SysML™) questions posed
by our sponsors, The Aerospace Corporation
and the George Mason University
Systems Engineering & Operations Research Department. The Quicklook project
team will develop a SysML based architectural design and model
for the operational phase of the Tactical Satellite-3 (TacSat-3)
vehicle.

TacSat-3 Background
United States government and military satellite systems have
traditionally been very large, expensive, and long-term
projects. The need to adapt to the changing world environment
has led policy makers to rethink this methodology. In 2005, the
President’s National Security Presidential Directive/NSPD-40
established the Responsive Space Initiative. This initiative
called for more agility in the military space arena by providing
smaller, less expensive, and more flexible systems. The Tactical
Satellite Program is one of the programs striving to reach the
goals of the Responsive Space Initiative. (TacSat-3) will be the
next iteration of the Tactical Satellite Program. TacSat-3 is a
low cost, small, rapidly deployable satellite system that will
provide responsive intelligence support to tactical and
operational military commanders. |
