Space Application Advanced Technology
Abstract
This program element (PE) matures and demonstrates advanced space technologies that support the Army's ability to control and exploit space assets that contribute to current and future military operations as defined in the national, DoD, and Army space policies. This PE provides applications for enhanced intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition, position/navigation, missile warning, ground-to-space surveillance, and command and control capabilities. Project 592 matures and demonstrates networked and integrated surveillance, communications, and command and control capabilities for high altitude and tactically responsive space payloads to enable information superiority, enhanced situational awareness, and support global assured access enabling distributed tactical operations. Work in this PE complements the work in PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0603008A (Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology), and PE 0603794A (Command, Control, and Communications Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense, Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this PE is performed by the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) Technical Center in Huntsville, AL.
