C-Band Radar
Abstract
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the United States Air Force and the Australian Department of Defence was signed by the United States Secretary of Defense and the Australian Minister for Defence on November 14, 2012 to support this international effort to provide an improved space situational awareness capability in the Australian geographic area. The MOU includes description of the need for Australian funding for part of the relocation project. The project will relocate a C-Band radar to Harold E. Holt Naval Communications Station (HEH NCS) in Australia and upgrade it to perform a Space Situational Awareness (SSA) mission. When completed, the radar will provide data for catalog maintenance, space object identification, and support for special events (e.g., space launches, satellite breakups, and maneuvers).
