Space Application Tech
Abstract
This project matures and demonstrates payloads, sensors, and data down link systems for tactically responsive space and high altitude platforms supporting Army ground forces. This project matures, demonstrates, and integrates lightweight materials, hardware components with reduced power consumption, and advanced data collection, processing, and dissemination capabilities. 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. These efforts support the Army's ability to control and exploit space assets that contribute to current and future military operations as defined in the national, Department of Defense (DoD), and Army space policies. 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 Project is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) Technical Center in Huntsville, AL. This program is designated as a DoD Space Program.
