Maui Space Surveillance System

Abstract

This program funds ground-based optical space situational awareness (SSA) technology development and demonstration at the Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS) in Hawaii, as well as the operation and upgrade of the facility. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Department of Defense Science and Technology Executive Committee process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. In FY 2021, the entirety of PE 0603444F, Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS), Project 634868, Maui Space Surveillance System, is transferred to PE 0603034F, Persistent Knowledge, Awareness, & C2 Tech, Project 634868, Maui Space Surveillance System, as part of the Air Force RDT&E BA 03 PE Consolidation in order to realign technology areas to better support the National Defense Strategy, Air Force Future Operating Concept and AF Science and Technology Strategy, April 2019. The Project and associated efforts will continue to be executed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Directed Energy Technology Directorate located in Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. This is an administrative realignment for consolidation, and not a new start.
