- Description
- DARPA System F6 Program Phase 2 J&A The System F-6 program seeks to demonstrate the feasibility and benefits of a satellite architecture wherein the functionality of a traditional "monolithic" spacecraft is replaced by a cluster of wirelessly-interconnected spacecraft modules. Each such "fractionated" module would contribute a unique capability, e.g., computation and data handling, communications relay, guidance and navigation, payload sensing, etc., or it could replicate the capability of another module. The fractionated modules would fly in a loose, proximate cluster orbit or potentially self-assemble into an aggregate system. Critical to this architecture is a robust, system-level approach to ensuring security, integrity, and availability, while implementing authentication and non-repudiation. The modules create a virtual satellite, delivering a comparable mission capability to a monolithic spacecraft, while significantly enhancing functional and programmatic flexibility and robustness, reducing risk through the mission life and spacecraft development cycle, and enabling incremental deployment of the system. The System F-6 architecture is designed to provide valuable options to decision makers throughout the life cycle development of future space systems that are absent in present-day monolithic architectures.
