- Description
- DARPA-BAA-11-01 The goal of the System F6 program is to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of disaggregated - or fractionated - space architectures, wherein the functionality traditionally co-resident within a single, large, monolithic satellite is delivered by a cluster of wirelessly-interconnected modules capable of sharing their resources and utilizing resources found elsewhere in the cluster. Such an architecture enhances the adaptability and survivability of space systems, while also shortening development timelines and reducing the barrier-to-entry for participation in the national security space industry. The program is predicated on the development of open interface standards - from the physical wireless link layer, through the network protocol stack, and including the real-time resource sharing middleware and cluster flight logic - that can enable the emergence of a space global commons which would enhance the mutual security posture of all participants through interdependence. A key program goal is the industry-wide promulgation of these open interface standards for the sustainment and development of future fractionated systems.
