Mission
The Space Test and Training Range (STTR) is an space electron warfare range controlled by the Nevada Test and Training Range and is located at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. The 25th and 379th Space Range Squadrons operate and maintain the STTR. Currently, L3Harris is responsible for sustainment of the Space Range Operations Center. [1]
The STTR has deployed equipment and personnel to support combatant commander operations and large force exercises such as Austere Challenge.[2][3]
History
The space range mission was conceived by Air Force Space Command in 2001. The creation of the Space Range Management Office occurred shortly after. On July 1, 2004, Air Force Space Command activated the 25th Space Control Tactics Squadron with a mission to develop and document space tactics, operate the Space Range and propagate approved tactics and space control employment comcepts to warfighters. However, Nov. 11, 2007, the squadron was redesignated the 25th Space Range Squadron to ackknowledge the growing importance of it's mission; operating the nation's only Space Test and Training Range in direct support of the DoD.[4] On April 1, 2012, the STTR gained its reserve component, the 379th Space Range Squadron. Both units are located at Schriever AFB and typically work jointly to complete their mission.[5]
