Space Survivability Overview
The use of space capabilities by the US military has changed significantly since the first military satellites were orbited.  Continuous improvements in space technology have lead to the development of more advanced systems which require space capabilities to be viewed from a new perspective.  Military, civil, and commercial sectors of the United States are increasingly dependent on space capabilities.  This dependence can be viewed by potential adversaries as a potential vulnerability.

The problem of spacecraft protection is complex and difficult.  Current spacecraft are not protected against manmade threats, not because spacecraft are easily replaceable or unimportant, but simply because our potential adversaries did not have the technological capabilities to threaten our spacecraft.  China’s destruction of its inactive Fengyun-1C weather satellite in January 2007 has changed this thinking.  

In response to this changed mindset, SURVIAC uses its expertise to apply survivability concepts relative to spacecraft and the space environment.  SURVIAC supports organizations in the identification of space system asymmetric vulnerabilities/threats and the development of methods to reduce the risk of these threats.  These efforts emphasize open source research and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology and products to develop countermeasure concepts to defeat potential adversarial attacks on our space assets.   

SURVIAC supports customers in the development of a space radar.  SURVIAC provided comprehensive technical support capabilities during development to define and document needs across a broad base of DoD, Intelligence Community, and civil users.  The scope of these efforts includes requirements development, mission analysis, and planning support.  

SURVIAC also assists customers in the technical analysis of survivability/vulnerability aspects of R&D products in the areas of engineering, testing, integration and development of new and existing space systems and technologies across all space and missile mission areas.
