This volume presents an assessment of the technology needs for achieving autonomous operation of Air Force spacecraft. The technologies identified were selected based on autonomy goals, mission drivers, and a technology forecast. The assessment concluded that near term autonomy goals could be met by using current technology supplemented by certain key developments such as autonomous system methodology, fault-tolerant computers, autonomous navigation, and reliable mass data storage.
