Curric Review Correspondence
4
• Thesis vs. Non-Thesis• Study complete• Outcome: Thesis is the preferred option• Findings:
• Support of Navy and DoD relevant research is enhanced by the variety of theses vs. a single capstone
• Determined thesis to be optimal format for measuring individual student education outcomes including:
• Technical Writing, Critical Thinking, Synthesis and In-depth Knowledge
• While not required provides a preferred approach for the above in meeting WASC accreditation
Trade Study
5
• Thesis vs. Non-Thesis• Findings (continued):
• Faculty involvement with students is broadened and promoted as well as faculty currency enhancement through thesis adviser role
• Research provides faculty incentives to interact more thoroughly with key sponsors (NRO, SMDC, N2/N6, etc.)
• Faculty funding model would be drastically impacted • Benefit of a capstone group design project is already
incorporated into the curriculum• Students have unique opportunities to incorporate
fleet experience into thesis research that Non-thesis would not afford
Trade Study – cont’d

• Partial but representative list of Navy and DoD relevant research served by SSO student theses:• Beaming Electricity Via Relay Satellites in Support of
Deployed Combat Forces – Capt. Essenpreis• Investigating a New Approach to Space-Based Information

Title: Enabling Cooperative Engagement Capability over Satellite Communications
Student: LT Matt Faulkenberry
Advisor: CAPT(ret) Al Scott
Abstract: Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) could provide real-time common operational air picture for the theater if sensors were networked over satellite communications links. Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) brings IP-based communications to the UHF spectrum. Using QualNet network simulation and STK modeling, this thesis will evaluate the feasibility of enabling CEC over MUOS. Sharing CEC amongst gateway nodes via MUOS could bring significant improvements in the accuracy of the air picture across an entire AOR. Furthermore, CEC provides intriguing capability to BMD missions, particularly shore-ship integration. With full sensor integration, CEC could be the next step in net-centric warfare and revolutionize how information is shared in the AOR.
Abstract: CLASSIFIED TS//SCI//TK.Title: IMINT Requirement Satisfaction Analysis
Student: LT Jared Smearman
Advisor: Prof. Mike Ross
Title: Using AIS to target and influence adversaries in the Maritime Domain
Student: LT Colin Boyle
Advisor: Prof. Doug Fouts, and Prof. James Scrofani
Abstract: CLASSIFIED TS//SCI//TK.
Title: The Role of Space in Middle Eastern Security Relations: Orbital Capabilities and Motivations in Iran, Israel, and Turkey
Student: LT Keith Rinne
Advisor: Prof. Clay Moltz
Abstract: According to the 2010 U.S. National Security Space Strategy, the U.S. will “promote security and stability in space… deepen cooperation with allies and friends, and work will all nations toward the responsible and peaceful use of space” as well promote other states to be responsible for their actions. How these three countries conduct operations in space for their own security will affect not only U.S. policy in space, but also U.S. national space systems. The most important questions that will be raised in this thesis are why and how these three nations are using space technology. Another set of issues to be addressed is what will come of this new dimension of space competition. Each country’s history in terms of its space program will be looked at, including its military aspects, and then its political and technological aspirations for space today will be examined to discover its national security motivations.
• Faculty continue to attend technical exchanges and various telecons• Cubesat Conference, Space Warfighter Forum, C2 SSA COI,
SOUTHCOM SNaP-3 JCTD, DoD Narrowband Study, STRATCOM Protected SATCOM study
• Group projects, coursework and exercises, student thesis research• Projects include: Space Systems Vulnerability Analysis &
Assessments, Threat Space & Counterspace Analysis & Assessments
• Coursework/exercises include: Real world OPLAN scenarios used for Space Annex development exercises, A2AD analysis, A2AD contested SATCOM mitigation analysis, protected SATCOM architecture analysis, to name a few
• Thesis topics from previous slides

• Guest lecturers for courses• Often at the SECRET classification or higher• Organizations represented include: NRO, SMDC/ARSTRAT,
NASIC, NAVSOC, JFCC Space, JSpOC, JNWC, SMC, SSDP, NASA
• Including discussions on EMMW• SS4000 discussion topics and guest speakers from
current real world operations• AIAA, NASA, NASA JPL, NASIC, DNI, SMC, NAVSOC, NRO,
Boeing Space Systems• Coordination with CAG and IDCFE
• E-week short course in conjunction with the Cyber Academic Group
• Participation with other guest speaker presentations hosted by CAG and IDCFE
• Including recent visits from N2/N6F4 and ONR
Operational Relevance

• Experience tours of live ops floors• NAVSOC, JFCC Space, JSpOC, ADF-Colorado, SMC, 460th
Space Wing (Buckley AFB), Cheyenne Mountain AFS (MWC), SMDC/ARSTRAT, 1st Space Brigade, 50th Space Wing (Schriever AFB), 527th Space Aggressor Squardron, Space Innovation and Development Center (SIDC), Boeing Space Systems, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Ball Aerospace, SpaceX, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Scaled Composites and others
Operational Relevance
11
• Low quota numbers and the impact on curriculum• 5% of 6 quotas = loss of 1 student• 20% of 6 quotas = loss of 2 students• A reduction of student throughput in an already
minimal number of quotas will:• Threaten the viability of the program • Dramatically affect team projects as there will be
insufficient participants to fill necessary roles to satisfy learning objectives and ESRs (4, 6c, 7a,b,c, 8a,b,e, 9a)
• Detract from academic collaboration resulting from not only number of students involved but designator communities represented
