Abstract

(U) 3GIRS included development efforts for the Commercially Hosted Infrared Payload (CHIRP) demonstration. CHIRP efforts will continue through completion. The FY11 and FY12 funds needed to conduct the CHIRP demonstration for technology maturation of space and ground technologies were moved to the Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) program, PE 0604441F under a separate project number (A040). (U) This program is assigned to Budget Activity 5, System Development and Demonstration (SDD), because it funded the development activities for evolving the next generation of missile warning satellites.
