Rapid Attack Identification Detection Reporting System

The Rapid Attack Identification Detection Reporting System, also known as RAIDRS is a ground-based space control system that provides near real-time event detection.

Mission

RAIDRS will be a family of systems being designed to detect, report, identify, locate, and classify attacks against military space assets. RAIDRS will include detection sensors, information processors, and a reporting architecture. The RAIDRS system will detect and report attacks on both ground and space-based elements of operational space systems. It will notify operators and users, and carry information to decision-makers

Block 10
  • Worldwide network of sensors; Centralized management
  • Detect, Identify, Characterize SATCOM EMI interference
  • Identify signal characteristics
  • Geo-locate SATCOM EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference)
  • Report interference on blue space systems and/or services

Block 20
  • Commander's decision support tool that provides Defensive Counterspace (DCS) attack assessment
  • Integrates and processes critical Space Situation Awareness (SSA) information to provide the integrated space picture that enables DCS operations
  • Multi-level distributed data fusion; Advanced visualization

Contract Information

The RAIDRS system is unique in the acquisitions process for being tailored to small businesses and utilizing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software.

According to the Air Force budget, the service intends to spend about $16 million in 2005 on the RAIDRS program; $16.4 million in 2006; $12.1 million in 2007; $12.4 million in 2008; and $66.6 million in 2009.

Contractor: Kratos Defense & Security Solutions

Locations
  • Peterson AFB, Colorado (2007–present) (Central Operating Location)
gollark: Probably. I don't aim for this, and I expect it to be more accurate than the limited public information. I could probably correct ubq if they still care.
gollark: I mean, excluding stuff like private personal details, which we don't deal with.
gollark: Because I think people having information is better than them not having it.
gollark: Yes.
gollark: ubq, or something? Troubling.
