### Project 67A011 — Space Analysis and Application Development

Located at Peterson SFB, Colorado, the Space Innovation, Integration, and Rapid Technology Development (SIIRTD) program develops and modifies modeling and simulation tools that USSF/Space Operations Command uses for operations research, military utility analyses, tradeoff studies, verification and validation, and other assessments of space mission areas to guide SPAFORGEN, Space Domain Awareness (SDA), readiness, and other activities. SIIRTD projects respond to changes - both existing and projected - in space operations, technology, and threats to ensure space operators are provided accurate and relevant data and capabilities. SIIRTD tools and analyses enable USSF and joint warfighters to execute their missions more efficiently. Efforts within the space warfighting enterprise are evaluating ways to increase innovation and resiliency, aiming to reduce risk, repurpose existing capabilities, integrate new capabilities, and prototype and field combat efficiencies and automations via all appropriate acquisition authorities and contract mechanisms.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** KBR (10.5, 100%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model/Tool Development and Capability Upgrades | 9.7 | 10.1 | 10.5 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

### Project 674671 — Enterprise Training Services Development

Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) builds combat-ready forces by delivering enterprise training capabilities in alignment with the OTTI SRD. ETSD capabilities enable Guardians to train and develop tactics in an operationally relevant synthetic environment. Capabilities are delivered via technology such as: - mission-specific simulators for weapons system operations training and threat/scenario-driven training and tactics development - threat-representative models of adversary capabilities - synthetic, physics-based digital environments capable of conducting multi-mission and multi-user full-force distributed combat training and exercises - artificial intelligence to augment Guardians playing aggressor roles in training and exercise scenarios - synthetic environment visualizations and friendly/adversary/integrated operational pictures - networks and computer hardware required to deliver the above capabilities and interoperate with other joint acquisition, test, training, exercise, and exercise platforms and tools Activities may include, but are not limited to program office support, studies, technical analysis, experimentation, risk reduction, prototyping, and activities that may leverage commercial, U.S. Government partnership, and international opportunities to respond to existing and emerging adversarial threats with speed and agility. Beginning in FY 2027, Project 674671, Enterprise Training Services Development, is moved into new Program Element 1206617SF, Operational Test & Training Infrastructure, Project 644441, Operational Test & Training Infrastructure.

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |

| Industry primes | 100% | 10.5 |

**Top named industry performers:** KBR ($10.5M, 100%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

The Space Innovation, Integration, and Rapid Technology Development (SIIRTD) program element delivers enterprise capabilities and solutions to field combat-ready forces and ensure space domain superiority in an evolving threat environment. Enterprise Training Services Development (ETSD) delivers operationally realistic space combat training capabilities via a system-of-systems architecture to generate, assess, and sustain Guardian lethality. Capabilities developed are in accordance with the USSF Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Strategic Requirements Document (SRD) and Space Training and Readiness Command and Space Operations Command requirements and priorities.

FY26 and 27 activities are executed via existing contracts and Interagency Agreements. Contracts are both competitively awarded and sole sourced (in accordance with Small Business Innovative Research Policy Directive, May 2023). These contracts and Interagency Agreements allow for immediate execution of all FY26 and 27 funds with minimal contracting actions required to ensure continuity of effort across the FYs.
