UK SBS CR18100 Effective Sensor Cross Cueing and Tasking Study

The final date and time for the submission of bids is 01.08.2018 14:00 D DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the CCS eSourcing Portal. The aim of this tender is to contribute to the EU SST WP 8 by delivering the "Effective Sensor Cross Cueing and Tasking Study". The key aims of the study are: a) Determine what are the quantifiable benefits of cross cueing to overall system performance ; b) Understand the best strategies to optimise cross cueing ; c) Understanding what goal functions are most beneficial to use when trying to maintain a catalogue (e.g. mean catalogue uncertainty across whole population, explicit custody of crucial targets of interest, covariance thresholds on certain orbital parameters, etc.) to inform future cataloguing needs and identify choke points that should be relived in the design phase; d) Understand how the system optimisation might vary if used with 3rd party data (either to enhance it or utilise it); e) Understand the benefits of agile tasking to avoid weather and other sensor constraints (eg. availability); f) Understand the risks and impact on security. Risks to a more connected system through infiltration and spoofing. Impact to system level performance caused by possible security protocols (procedural and cyber/electronic/firewalls etc.).
