Multi-Domain Multi-Mission Sensors

Abstract

This project designed and developed prototype multi-mission intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and tactical sensors through the Air Force multi-domain command and control system (MDC2). The prototype sensors support the DoD's modernization priority of counter-hypersonics. The developed sensors include a low-cost, distributed satellite system consisting of multiple small busses with multi-mode detection capabilities that operate in low Earth orbit. The prototype system leveraged other efforts to develop high speed sensor processing, clutter mitigation algorithms, and low latency sensor-to-shooter correlation processing. FY 2018 funds supported prototype development, testing, integration into MDC2, and operational demonstration. The capability transitioned to the Air Force and Missile Defense Agency.
