This seminar will provide an overview of DARPA's System F6 program and discuss the challenges and benefits of fractionated spacecraft architectures.  System F6 is focused on development of technologies that will enable the fractionation of space systems. Fractionation is the networking of disaggregated satellites and ground nodes, wherein various software and hardware resources can be shared across the network.  Cluster flight of space modules is a focus of the System F6 program - the navigation approach, as well as the novel software implementation of it, will be discussed.
