It assists with engineering tasks required to develop space systems, from initial concept and design to deployment and operation. Progress is monitored, alternatives and tests are analyzed, and problems are resolved in cooperation with industrial contractors and government laboratories.Aerospace laboratory research is directed toward advancements in military space systems, engineering feasibility studies of new system concepts, anomaly resolution, and analyses and forecast of domestic and foreign technologies. In fulfilling this architect-engineer role, Aerospace strives to minimize system development and operational risks, which in turn protects acquisition schedules and aids in cost containment.
