3.3.2.4. Space Intelligence Support

3.3.2.4.1. Space intelligence support refers to a capability solution's requirement to directly ingest space-based sensor data, such as imagery, signals, or measurements and signatures. It does not include a capability solution's mission requirements for finished intelligence products or operational requirements for space-based services, such as positioning, navigation and timing (PNT), communications relay, or weather.

3.3.2.4.2. The Sponsor should address requirements in terms of timeliness and means of delivery, anticipated throughput, interoperability of communication systems (including requirements for interoperability with coalition and other organizations’ systems), format of information delivered (including compliance with data and metadata standards), and information/product storage location, capacity and accessibility.

3.3.2.4.3. The Sponsor should provide an assessment, if possible, of the existing space-based infrastructure capacity to support the needs of the capability in development, or if the infrastructure may require augmentation. If the capability in development will rely upon future or planned space-based capabilities, or if the existing space-based capability requires augmentation, the Sponsor should consider impacts to the capability in development and provide mitigating strategies if the existing or planned space-based capability is insufficient.

3.3.2.4.4. Sponsors should describe the types of interactions depicted in applicable DoDAF products including the capability’s need to send and/or receive information through or from space-based platforms, types of products, and anticipated throughput volume, capacity, and frequency.
