Description |
This WG aims to establish a collaborative forum for the discussion of the evolution of future ground systems. Satellite ground enterprises for federal agencies have traditionally consisted of predominantly Government Owned/Government Operated solutions. In recent years, however, commercial offerings such as Commercial Ground Stations and Commercial SATCOM Service have emerged and are beginning to disrupt this traditional model. New Space is potentially highly disruptive to current ground operations business practices. Innovation in flight architectures needs to be enabled through innovation in the ground enterprise. Outsourcing satellite operations services or implementing hybrid solutions that integrate both government and commercial services allows for potentially more agile and efficient ground operations.
The WG will engage a broad range of government agencies, industry, and international partners to discuss the role of commercial services in the future satellite ground enterprise. It will explore the reimagining of the government/contractor relationship, including the exploration of relevant technology and business services offerings that may transform daily operations. It will also consider strategic business issues such as the acquisition, regulatory, and cultural transformations necessary for government agencies to exploit relevant commercial technology and business services effectively, affordably, and securely. Proposed Format:
After a short break we will hold an open discussion to compare agency approaches and lessons learned and identifying opportunity of collaboration and cross agency interoperability. |
