product: IDASS

The Directed Energy Directorate’s Intelligence Data Analysis System for Spacecraft (IDASS) software provides visualization and analysis tools to fuse sensed data and space object models to aid assessment of space object health and status. IDASS supports the workflow of surveillance system operators with efficient data management and familiar data presentations.

IDASS also supplies the needs of researchers with generalized data representations and flexible processing. The software supports simulated three-dimensional viewing to enhance space situational awareness (SSA) by providing an improved picture of the mission payload status and on-orbit damage assessments of both friendly and potentially hostile space objects.

The directorate’s Satellite Assessment Center (SatAC) recently transitioned a mature SSA software technology into an operational testbed environment at Air Force Space Command (AFSPC). The 14th Air Force (AF) requested AFSPC to include this technology in the testbed to provide a more useful, fused space common operational picture (Space COP).
