A near term military need exists for a capability to execute global strike, responsive spacelift and space control missions. An innovative solution concept was developed based on integrating off-the shelf components to provide this capability, while avoiding technology development risk. The paper presents a concept that would utilize an F-15E with minimal modifications to provide a reusable first stage for the F-15GSE (Global Strike Eagle). The upper stages of the F-15GSE would consist of currently available solid rocket motors packaged to meet the mission requirements. The F-15GSE concept could provide an “all azimuth” capability from a single CONUS base while reducing the Delta-V required for orbital insertion by 5,000 fps versus a ground launch rocket system. Advantages of an F-15GSE system include: increased mission flexibility, rapid response time without deployment of assets, multiple basing options and covert launches. Operational missions could be completed within two hours while on alert status with minimal infrastructure from CONUS or remote bases. Initially this concept could provide a low-cost demonstration of global strike, while military operational capability could be met with an expansion of fleet size. The F-15GSE would be capable of global reach with delivery of munitions including the Common Aero Vehicle (CAV) and also provide a LEO launch capability for microsats. Planned future upgrades are available to enhance capability for delivering heavier ballistic and orbital payloads.
