Multiple Hypothesis Management

Amount: $178,812 Topic: SF24B-T005

Modern analysts are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of intelligence data available, making it time-consuming and tedious to parse, verify, and coordinate disparate sources of intelligence data. This is particularly critical in national security, where trustability and usability of data are paramount. The flood of actionable data leads to hesitation when considering courses of action (COAs), as the vast trade spaces often leave users with more options than are feasibly actionable on tactically relevant timelines. To address this, an intelligent and intuitive pruning of these COAs is required to ensure that decision-makers can access all possible actions within the trade space and have confidence in the decisions derived from the analysis of alternatives. With our research institution partner UDRI, the Sedaro team will design and assess the feasibility of an open-architecture framework for multi-hypothesis analysis and planning. This framework will support analysts, decision-makers, and planners by generating sets of feasible world-states based on any set of observed data and user needs, leveraging Sedaro’s digital twin and simulation capabilities to refine their viability. The goal is to allow users to focus on defining mission needs and exploring possibilities, freeing them from managing numerous data sources, tools, and procedures. The proposed MHM Open Architecture will define all necessary modeling standards, including frameworks, formats, and ontologies, to enable modular, competitive, and agile development of MHM software. By ensuring interoperability between data sources and mission processes through ontologies, this framework will provide automated sense-making and decision support, preventing analysts from "drowning in data but starving for information." This approach will enhance tactical analysis by applying equally to red and blue forces, supporting multi-step game processes, and delivering sets of truly viable hypotheses enriched by high-fidelity simulations and digital twin information.

Simulation-Based Self Awareness at the Edge for Trusted Satellite Autonomy

Amount: $1,757,464 Topic: SF241-0020

Over the past decade, the surge in low?Earth orbit constellations amid a congested and contested space environment has underscored the critical need for onboard autonomy. Reliance on ground-based operations creates vulnerabilities, especially when threats evolve faster than human or network responses, potentially neutralizing US advantages in space. In response, Sedaro Corporation is developing a trusted satellite autonomy solution that leverages its cloud-native Sedaro Platform and extends its capabilities to the edge. The Sedaro Platform, honed over five years of R&D with over $10M in investments from USSF, USAF, NASA, and venture capital, offers collaborative modeling, predictive faster-than-real-time simulation, and digital integration. Its modular architecture supports complex, multi-physics system-of-systems simulations, allowing users to design, validate, and deploy high-fidelity models of space missions. Key functions include GIT-based configuration management, intuitive browser interfaces, and API-driven automation—features that enable rapid development and seamless integration with third-party simulators and hardware. To address the challenges of real-time autonomous decision-making, the proposed solution introduces Edge Deployable Simulators (EDSs) and the Sedaro Autonomy Framework for the Edge (SAFE). SAFE is an open-source flight software framework that integrates EDSs with third-party autonomy tools, creating a “trust layer” that validates AI-based planning via simulation-driven risk analysis. This dual-layer approach that uses techniques such as Monte Carlo analysis and optimization algorithms ensures that any autonomy command is both rapid and safe, minimizing risks like asset loss or orbital debris generation. A core innovation is the Sedaro Compiler module, which transforms high-fidelity cloud-deployable simulators (CDSs) into resource-optimized EDSs tailored for edge computing environments. The Compiler supports resource-aware parallelization, dynamic memory management, and runtime parameterization. By generating highly readable, high-performance Rust code, it enhances simulation reliability, observability, and compatibility across diverse onboard computing architectures. Additionally, integrated cosimulation capabilities allow external autonomy software to interact directly with running simulators, further enhancing decision-making fidelity. Recent on-orbit demonstrations, including a 148-simulation Monte Carlo analysis executed on the LIME spacecraft—with performance benchmarks of 109× to 222× real-time—validate the feasibility and robustness of this approach. In Phase II, Sedaro aims to optimize EDS deployment, evolve the SAFE framework to include native command and control interfaces, and demonstrate long-duration autonomous operations on 3U and 12U spacecraft. This work paves the way for a new era of trusted, efficient satellite autonomy, reducing dependency on ground infrastructure and safeguarding US space superiority.

Amount: $1,790,756 Topic: SF242-D028

At the 2023 Wright Innovative Technology Summit, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) Commander General Richardson highlighted the urgent need for faster development and deployment of next-generation weapon systems, citing a significant disparity between the United States and China in fielding advanced capabilities. The Department of the Air Force (DAF) and the US Department of Defense (DoD) require accelerated innovation to maintain strategic superiority. This urgency is particularly critical for next-generation space systems, as near-peer adversaries advance their capabilities at an alarming rate. The Space Development Agency (SDA), acting as the DoD’s "constructive disruptor for space acquisition," aims to deliver the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) to ensure U.S. dominance in vital warfighting functions such as data transport, navigation, and missile tracking. The adoption of advanced modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) capabilities is essential for achieving these objectives. Sedaro’s ongoing R&D effort for the SDA has demonstrated the technical feasibility and value of its commercial digital twin platform and associated open-architecture for PWSA MS&A. To further this effort, Sedaro, in collaboration with Stellar Solutions, Inc., proposes to develop an open-source “PWSA Digital Engineering (DE) Software Library” that enables the SDA to efficiently aggregate authoritative models of the PWSA and integrate data and third-party solutions with PWSA digital twin modeling. Sedaro will build the baseline PWSA DE Library through a proof-of-concept (PoC) project, leveraging the PWSA Digital Twin to assess the performance and resilience of the current PWSA network architecture in delivering communications services. This approach addresses the need for comprehensive and efficient MS&A across the system lifecycle, from requirements definition to testing, autonomy training, and tactical decision support. The PWSA DE Library will support integration across a diverse set of data sources and tools, preventing vendor lock-in and encouraging competitive acquisition of digital twin technologies. Sedaro's agile project execution, combined with its high-fidelity, cloud-native simulation framework and open-architecture, positions it as a leader in meeting the MS&A challenges for PWSA. This collaboration, supported by Stellar Solutions' expertise in distributed space system engineering, creates a unique opportunity to fulfill the ambitious goals of digital engineering and maintain U.S. defense superiority.

Model Integration for Mosaic Warfare Synthetic Environments

Amount: $189,549 Topic: SF233-0016

The USSF faces several challenges when it comes to supporting GCCs sand implementing the concept of "mosaic warfare,” which relies on multi-domain force collaboration. A complete picture of the operational theater of conflict must include land, air, space, and sea assets, which work in unison to support the warfighter during conflict. US DoD assets in the air, space, sea, and on the ground represent trillions of dollars and more than 1.4 million enlisted personnel. MS&A technology is required to effectively optimize and manage risk with the scale and diversity of capabilities in this “mosaic.” Variable analytical representations of all assets within the operational domain are needed to support collaboration and mission success across all potential use cases of a mosaic warfare synthetic environment. This value can only be unlocked by integration of a vast array of descriptive and analytical models from across disciplines and domains. Engineering model integration and exchange is a fundamental barrier to the complicated decision making required for mosaic warfare. Connected data is ubiquitous today: from text messaging to personal finance, marketing, sales, gaming, and management. Meanwhile, engineering tools that drive the cost and schedule associated with the most advanced, complex, and essential physical systems today are still largely siloed and built on legacy desktop software architectures. Some of the most technically innovative engineering orgs are some of the least innovative regarding their processes and software tools. This is driven by the following challenges: Legacy Approaches, Misaligned Incentives, Big Swings, Complex Models The answer to the challenges identified above involve two main components: New interfacing tech to facilitate a graceful transition to more connected tools and models Digital twin software that can leverage these shared descriptive models to deliver deep analytics earlier in the system lifecycle Continuous integration of models across disciplines and lifecycle phases will enable processes that can bring to space system engineering what DevOps brings to software engineering – dramatic improvements in performance, collaboration, agility, and traceability. Further exploring this analogy, digital twins can serve the role of a software development environment for space system engineering – a tool where the entire team can individually evaluate the performance of their system in relevant operational scenarios. Under the proposed effort, Sedaro will create/open source a software tool that will leverage the SysML v2 API and Sedaro’s modeling language, SedaroML to enable flexible, multipoint exchange of model information between disparate tools using disparate ontologies to represent – in part or in whole – the same information. This open-source software, tentatively titled ModEx, will deliver an interoperability and integration capability that is essential to addressing the challenges to model integration outlined above.

Advancing USSF Basing and Power Projection with Digital Twins

Amount: $179,211 Topic: SF24A-T007

The transfer of older Air Force facilities to the USSF brings several resilient basing and suitability challenges, mainly due to new mission requirements, technological advancements, and infrastructure needs. One approach that SSC is using to manage these challenges is a concept called “exploit what we have.” “‘Exploit what we have’ leverages current space architecture in new and creative ways to push more, or even new, capability from existing assets to support the warfighter and the nation in case those systems are needed in a ‘fight tonight’ scenario,” said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall in April 2023. Many Air Force facilities were designed and built decades ago and do not meet the specific needs of space operations. USSF missions require a greater focus on satellite command, control, and communications (C3) systems, ground station operations and maintenance, and cyber resilience. Without new approaches to facilities management, decision-makers will not be equipped with the necessary data to maintain and upgrade (if necessary) existing infrastructure to meet current and future needs brought on by a rapidly evolving mission. Integration of existing data sources using digital twin technology will dramatically enhance the efficiency and agility of base planning, operations, and sustainment – ultimately to increase power projection of our critical bases for national security. Sedaro is a cloud-scalable enterprise digital twin platform. Built to be a game engine for the real world, this platform delivers the foundational IT infrastructure, modeling frameworks, asset libraries, user interfaces, and software interfaces to virtualize real world assets for practically any organization or application. Its unique architecture allows for incredibly complex system-of-systems models to be tightly integrated with data from operational assets or 3rd party modeling tools and data services. For intelligent monitoring and authoritative decision support capabilities, the Sedaro platform supports massive multi-domain simulation in the cloud. Open-source, modern software interfaces streamline the realization of an authoritative and comprehensive common operating picture (COP). An OpenAPI, Python client, and open-source modeling ontologies enable streamlined development of situational awareness, model-tuning, and decision support tools. Through development of open-source models, open-source integration/interface software, and custom analytics and modeling interfaces, Sedaro, in collaboration with Mississippi State University (MSU) and FACTOR, Inc., will deliver a spaceport enterprise digital twin platform to cut across the full-stack of spaceport modernization priorities. This platform will provide an authoritative source of truth for facility space planning, what?if analyses for loading and resiliency, real?time monitoring of critical nodes, development of smart maintenance best practices, energy analysis/efficiency, and exercise/wargame support.
