Abstract

As an important national strategy infrastructure, the Space Information Network (SIN) is a powerful platform for future information support. The architecture model of the SIN is of great significance to the construction and development of the SIN. For the problems related to the poor versatility, portability, and recombination of the existing architecture modeling methods of the SIN, in this paper, based on the Data as a Center (DaaC) modeling idea, we propose a reconfigurable model of the task-oriented architecture of the SIN. Combining with the typical characteristics of the SIN, and drawing on the advantages of activity-based flexibility, service-oriented integrity, and object-oriented reusability, we propose a DaaC modeling idea with space data. The DaaC modeling idea can solve the problems related to the poor versatility and portability of the SIN architecture. Based on the DaaC idea, we analyze the requirements of the task-oriented architecture, and define the basic concepts of SIN reorganization, including the reconfigurable target, reconfigurable scheme, and reconfigurable SIN. We establish the reconfigurable principles of loose coupling, compatibility, isolation, and deconstruction. Meanwhile, we analyze the realization mechanism and methods of the task-oriented reconfigurable model of the SIN based on DaaC. Finally, we take a typical SIN as an example, and make a case study on land-based anti-missile combat activities as the task background based on the DoDAF2.0 (Department of Defense Architectural Framework 2.0) framework and the STK (Satellite Tool Kit) simulation platform. The case results are consistent with the theoretical expectation, and it verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of our proposed method.

Highlights

Summary

Introduction

With the rapid development of manufacture level of satellites, launch technology of rockets, and interstellar communication technology, the role of the Space Information Network (SIN) is more important to national defense and people’s livelihoods [1,2,3]. There are many countries of the world that are fully aware of the important role of SIN in international competition and national economic development. They are actively carrying out research in relevant areas, especially in countries such as the United States, Russia, and Japan [4]. The SIN is developing from the space-based integrated information network, space-based information system, and space information system [5].
