The Multi-Purpose Facility provides trainf{ng, analysis, suftware matntcnance/integration The Joint Chiefs of Staff have designated the Aerospace befense Command, Strategic alr Command, ational Military Command System, Atlantsa Command, Pacifica Commind, European Command, as users of DSP lata. Evolutionary sateilite improvements are intended to prolong the useful life aC each satellite, make the satellite more survivable increase the viewing area of each satellite, and increase the accuracy of data _ _ for the NCA deciston-making process. Modiftcations under development will ensure that the DSP payloads are compatible with Shuttle/Titan If1(34)D/iInertial Upper Stage (TUS) capabilities.
