Third Generation Infrared Surveillance (3GIRS)

Abstract

(U) The Department of Defense terminated the Third Generation Infrared Surveillance (3GIRS) program beginning in FY11. (U) 3GIRS included development efforts for the Commercially Hosted Infrared Payload (CHIRP) demonstration. CHIRP efforts will continue through completion. The FY11 and FY12 funds needed to conduct the CHIRP demonstration for technology maturation of space and ground technologies were moved to the Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) program, PE 0604441F under a separate project number (A040). (U) This program is assigned to Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it funded the development activities for evolving the next generation of missile warning satellites.

Change Summary Explanation
FY10: Congressional Program Reduction of $69.8M removed 3GIRS development efforts not associated with CHIRP FY11: The FY 2010 President's Budget submittal did not reflect the FY 2011 through FY 2015 funding. Therefore, explanation of changes between the two budget positions cannot be made in a relevant manner. NOTE: FY11 and FY12 CHIRP funds moved to SBIRS PE 0604441F.
