The Special Sensor Ultraviolet Imager (SSUSI) is a far-ultraviolet spectrographic imager that will be flown on the DMSP F16-F20 satellites. SSUSI is the operational predecessor to the NPOESS AURORA instrument and is similar to the GUVI instrument on NASA's TIMED satellite. The first SSUSI instrument was launched on F16 in November 2003. During the year and a half following the F16 launch the Air Force conducted sensor calibration and data product validation studies for SSUSI. We provide an overview of the "Cal/Val" effort and report on the program's results in the area of nightside ionospheric remote sensing, where comparisons of UV-derived products to a variety of truth sensors (ionosondes, GPS occultation, incoherent scatter radars) were performed.
