NORTH AMERICAN AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND ( NORAD ) &
UNITED STATES SPACE COMMAND ( USSPACECOM )

Omitron provides key management and engineering support services to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) missions. We subcontractor/partner with Lockheed Martin Mission Systems on the Integrated Space Command and Control (ISC2) contract.  Our team provides specialized Astrodynamics, Engineering, Space Analysis, and Software expertise to the ISC2 Space Integrated Product Team (IPT).

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) is a binational United States and Canadian organization responsible for aerospace warning and aerospace control for North America. Aerospace warning includes the monitoring of man-made objects in space, and the detection, validation, and warning of attack against North America whether by aircraft, missiles or space vehicles. Aerospace control includes providing surveillance and control of the airspace of Canada and the United States.  To accomplish these critically important missions, NORAD has continually adjusted its structure to meet the demands of a changing world. A commander in chief (CINC) is appointed by, and responsible to the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Canada. The CINC's headquarters are located at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado, and the command and control center is located nearby at the Cheyenne Mountain Air Station. Cheyenne Mountain serves as a central collection and coordination facility for a worldwide system of sensors designed to provide the CINC and the National Command Authorities of the U.S. and Canada with an accurate picture of any aerospace threat.

As an ISC2 team member, we are responsible for developing, testing, integrating, and migrating new space support and space control systems into the overall integrated architecture for ISC2 and the Cheyenne Mountain Complex.

Our ISC2 support tasks include:

Design, integration, maintenance, and operation of orbital prediction, and space debris avoidance systems in the next generation of NORAD/USSPACECOM systems, including operations and maintenance of the current orbital prediction and debris avoidance systems at NORAD Development of laser clearinghouse software and operational procedures – laser predictive avoidance support for the Airborne Laser (ABL) programs Creation of a Highly Accurate Satellite Drag Model (HASDM) to work in conjunction with a newly devised Solar Flux model and for incorporation into the new NORAD systems Formulation of a Comprehensive Predictive Avoidance (CPA) algorithm to be incorporated into the NORAD system

Omitron's team has a significant presence in the ISC2 Operations Integrated Product Team (IPT). Our cadre of NORAD-qualified space and orbital mechanics analysts provide around-the-clock, 365 day-a-year, and special event support to USSPACECOM and its component commands from NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.

Our orbit analysis tasks include orbital debris avoidance prediction and warning to USSPACECOM and its users; NASA for the Space Shuttle and International Space Station; and other US Agencies, including the Departments of State and Transportation. We are committed to providing the highest quality system engineering, operations, and software support to our customers. Call us and find out what we will do for your mission.
