Advanced Space Sensors
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates space sensor technologies, including radio frequency sensors; intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance sensors; electro-optical sensors; laser warning sensors; targeting and attack radar sensors; and electronic counter-countermeasures and communications. By developing multi-function radar, laser, electronic combat, and electronic counter-countermeasures technologies for space applications, this project provides space platforms with the capability to precisely detect, track, and target air- and ground-based, high-value, time-critical targets, while remaining invulnerable to hostile and natural threats.
