COLSA (Huntsville) currently supports the following Space and Missile Defense Command programs:

Space Representation in Objective OneSemi-Automated Forces Simulation Systems (SROOS) – COLSA manages and operates the Objective OneSAF (OOS) Co-Development lab, developing and integrating numerous models of various fidelities into the OneSAF Constructive Simulation infrastructure that is used world-wide. COLSA has implemented over 150 satellite modules, EO, IR, and HSIS effects models, full satellite constellations both communications (i.e. Iridium), sensors (NMARSET), and the full GPS constellation along with supporting models (ground stations, communications networks).

Near Space Long Loitering (NSLL) Payload Testbed – COLSA developed a fully functional space and high altitude test bed facility now called the Space High-Altitude Integration Evaluation Laboratory Data System (SHIELDS) to refine the requirements, conduct concept evaluations, integrate and test candidate sensors and payloads in order to significantly increase the military utility of prototype Small Tactical Space Systems and High Altitude Long Loiter platforms and programs. 

Data Fusion Distribution Cell (DFDC) – COLSA is developing the Data Fusion Distribution Cell (DFDC) to provide a net-centric capability to gather, store, catalog, and disseminate raw and fused sensor data for RDT&E communities to find, develop, and field technical solutions to warfighters’ needs. The tools developed under the DFDC effort can be also used by warfighters for command, decision, and planning; by the intelligence community for tactical, operational, and technical analysis; and by Joint and Service support activities for training and exercises. The DFDC can combine data from diverse sensors to improve the probability of correctly detecting, classifying, identifying, and tracking a desired object or target. Fusing data collected from two or more sensors that gain information from different perspectives or through different means can provide a more accurate picture of a target and more knowledge about an object than can a single sensor. 

Multipurpose NanoMissile System (MNMS) – COLSA is developing a very low-cost, missile capable of delivering small payloads for suborbital and low earth orbit missions. Based on the innovative use of existing simple, low-cost technologies, the missile is an affordable choice as a target or stimulator for missile defense, carrier vehicle for testing hypersonic components, Nanosat launch vehicle, and other tactical missions.
