SPACE APPLICATION TECH
Abstract
Efforts in this project mature and demonstrate advanced space technology applications 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 project matures and demonstrates advanced technologies in the areas of light weight materials, miniaturization, reduced power consumption, and advanced data collection, processing, and dissemination. This project also develops algorithms that process space and near space sensor data in real and near real time for integration into battlefield operating systems. It matures and demonstrates payloads, sensors and data down link systems for tactically responsive space and high altitude platforms. This project provides space advanced technology risk reduction capability for ground-to-space surveillance and systems development. Work in this Project is coordinated with PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability) and PE 0603008A (Electronic Warfare Advanced Technology). The cited work is consistent with the Department of Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this PE is performed by the US Army Space and Missile Defense Technical Center in Huntsville, AL. This program is designated as a DoD Space Program.
