Thermal Imaging Technology Experiment-Recon (TITE-R)

Abstract

The Thermal Imaging Technology Experiment-Recon (TITE-R) leverages and expands upon the successful technology demonstrations associated with the Small Satellite Sensors program, previously budgeted in this PE/Project. TITE-R will develop and demonstrate complimentary sensing modalities, advanced processing, and low size, weight, and power cross and downlinks which will more closely represent an objective tactical capability. TITE-R will develop sensors and software automation capable of supporting future tactical targeting operations implemented on small (< 250 kg) satellites. TITE-R will also develop mission software to support automated on-board processing and simplified operator tasking. This scalable tactical targeting approach will directly support tactical operations. TITE-R aims to rapidly develop and test an early-to-space prototype system to be made available to transition partners to integrate with space vehicles and conduct experimentation. Technology developed by this program will transition to the Services and other government agencies.
