Why ORS? … The Need
• Global Environmental Changes Require Increased Agility
to Respond to Increased Uncertainty
1) Increased Geopolitical Uncertainty
- End of Cold War With Stable, Predictable Adversary
- Global War on Terror – Changing Locations and Techniques
- More Countries Achieving New Space & Military Capabilities
2) Rapid Technology Improvement Cycles Resulting in New and
Unpredicted Capabilities and Tactics Used by Others
This New Environment Affects All Elements, Not Specific to Space

75 Proposals were Received from Industry and Evaluated using an Army
SMDC, AFRL, and NRL Joint Evaluation Process
– Achieved Solid Consensus and Selected 15 Proposals for Award with
OSD and STRATCOM Concurrence
•
These Contracts are All in Place and Industry will be Developing Over the
Course of the Next Year
•
NRL is the Program Manager of this Initiative for OSD
– Chris Huffine and LCDR Joe Gherlone are Primary Contract CORs

•
Achieving Broad Acceptance and Volume is a Key to Success of Any
Standards
•
Generally these ORS Bus Standards Complimentary STP SIV Bus Standards
Nicely In Terms of Size, Weight, Power and Cost Class of Bus
– SIV Spacecraft ~180kg; ORS Spacecraft ~400kg (buses are about half)
•
AFRL Led Plug-and-Play Standards Work Generally Supports Component
Level Standardization and is Well Suited for All Cost Classes

ORS Office Standup is May 21, 2007. Properly setting up the core office
relationships, incentives, and authorities is probably the biggest current
challenge effecting long term success of ORS.

Conclusions
.20
•
ORS is Maturing from All S&T/R&D Efforts to Now Include COCOM Support,
Acquisition and Operations Arms in a Formal Office Construct
– The Joint ORS Office Standup will Occur May 21, 2007
•
TacSat Experiments are Intended to Co-Evolve Concepts and Technologies
to Spiral Operational Capabilities and Inform Acquisition
– Although Not Their Main Focus, TacSats may have Potential for NSF
•
Expect NSF-ORS Technology Development Collaboration would be
Productive
– ORS S&T Vector #2
– ORS Payload Technology Development Initiative
•
Achieving Broad Acceptance and Volume is a Key to Success for the
Spacecraft Bus Standards
– Would be Great to See Some ORS and NFS Collaboration with these Bus
Standards
