Night Launch of STS-67, Commanded By NSRP Director CAPT Stephen S. Oswald, USNR

### Gaining Command:

As the name implies, the Navy Space Systems Division is the office responsible for developing a composite program for the Navy's use of space systems to perform surveillance, communications, navigation, command and control, environmental sensing, targeting, and warning. N63 is the principal point of contact within the Navy for command and control space matters, including policy and planning for space exploitation and the defense of space systems. This office also ensures that Navy space systems meet the needs of the operational commanders, including joint commands, and represents the Department of the Navy (DON) on interdepartmental, DoD, and national committees related to space systems.

The staff of the Director, Navy Space Systems Division, assesses future satellite and space system concepts and applications as they relate to the overall Navy command and control plan. They also validate requirements for space systems; coordinate with the OPNAV warfare and platform sponsors to ensure that space systems are responsive to operational requirements; maintain liaison with the other services and federal agencies for space system utilization; and identify training needs related to space systems support. The division also sponsors NAVSPACECOM and NAVSPASUR initiatives within OPNAV.

N63 consists of the five branches. The Deputy Director is identified as N63B, while the branches are numbered N631-N635.

- N631, the Satellite Communications Branch, is responsible for Navy use of satellite communications systems. Current programs include both Navy-sponsored programs and Navy use of systems deployed by other services and agencies. The Navy-sponsored programs include the Fleet Satellite Communications (FLTSATCOM) System consisting of Fleet Satellites (FLTSATs), Leased Satellites (LEASATs), and Gapfiller satellites; the Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) Follow-On (UHF F/O) program that replaces FLTSATCOM spacecraft beginning in 1993; the FLTSAT Extrahigh Frequency (EHF) Program (FEP) that is testing EHF communications packages aboard FLTSATs 7 and 8. Joint activities include satellite communications terminal development for multiservice application for UHF, SHF and EHF systems.
- N632, the TENCAP Branch, manages the Navy's program for Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities (TENCAP) and monitors all national space programs to determine Navy applicability, ensuring that those space systems consider support to naval operations wherever feasible. N632 also sponsors and participates in exercises and special projects to enhance support to tactical warfighters.
- N633, the Surveillance Branch, defines requirements for, plans and manages the development, procurement, installation, operation, and logistic support of satellite surveillance and navigation systems. Current programs include the Relocatable Over-The-Horizon Radar (ROTHR) System operated by NAVSPACECOM, Tactical Receive Equipment (TRE) which provides timely reporting of surveillance data to the tactical community, and classified surveillance systems.
- N634, the Plans, Policy, Environment and Administration Branch, is responsible for defining requirements and performing long range planning for Navy space systems. N634 also participates in the DoD Space Test Program (STP) looking for Navy applications of future programs and technologies. Resource sponsorship of the Navy part of environmental support systems, the Defense Meterological Satellite Program (DMSP) and Geosat Follow-on (GFO) is also provided. Responsibility for sub-specialty management of space systems professionals and sponsorship of the space curriculum at the Naval Post Graduate School at Monterey, CA. resides in N634.
- N635, the Programs Branch, coordinates the funding related activities of Program Resource Officers ensuring space matters are fully implemented within the planning, programming and budgeting system.
