OVERVIEWBraxton’s Advanced Control Equipment (ACE) PremierTM product suite includes the ACE Fleet Level Situational Awareness Toolkit (AceFLT). AceFLT provides web-based, near-real time Situational Awareness (SA) of space assets and also queries and exports historical data used for trending. At its core, AceFLT monitors assets via multiple channels to provide users with pertinent engineering data and metadata associated with space vehicle (SV) status. Users interact via a web client interface to the back-end servers, providing roll-up SA for all monitored assets.
AceFLT leverages the prototype Enterprise Ground Services (EGS) software architecture to monitor Goddard Mission Services Evolution Center (GMSEC) based decommutated telemetry data, store that data within a high-performance database, and enable a hierarchy which provides state of health (SOH) subsystem level SA for any space asset monitored or controlled by EGS. The hierarchy also provides real-time SA and SOH for all ground assets controlled/monitored within Resilient Enterprise Ground (REG). A RocketComm Astro UXDS-derived interface was chosen as the prototype EGS-compatible UI, and AceFLT adheres to that style. A quickly consumable dashboard provides an easy-to-understand status and current operational picture for all space assets.

Fleet Level Situational Awareness Toolkit (AceFLT)
AceFLT Features• AceFLT is created from Braxton’s ACE Premier™ product architecture and enhanced to provide additional
toolkit functions enabling enhanced space situational awareness• Interfaces with datastores supporting trending and Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) • Allows operators to visibly assess and focus on critical needs• Allows operators to rapidly customize displays
CAPABILITIES
• Configurable detection and notification of anomalous events• Supports a status rollup capability (green, yellow, red) • Provides users the ability to drill down to any defined component/subsystem status• Pop-up metadata display rich with ground sites/equipment information • Maps SA status of all SVs and ground resources• Provides rich, context-sensitive filtering capabilities• Notification services for alarms, warnings, and events• Can be supplemented through mission unique displays• High-speed local data archiving services for near-real time analysis of all telemetry • Support for populating and querying historical datastore implementations such as COTS SQL
databases and Bluestaq’s Unified Data Library (UDL)• Log files to support real-time and post-mortem analysis• Access to prototype EGS information • Enables RESTful queries, prototype EGS subscriptions, telemetry streams, and is tailorable for
additional queries
