Ground Based Optical Sensor
Abstract
Ground Based Optical Sensor System (GBOSS) includes an upgrade to the Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) system which monitors small, closely-spaced, and advanced threats in low, mid, high, and geostationary orbits. The upgraded system will discover currently undetectable space threats, reduce an adversary's tactical surprise and deliver the data required to support accurate, timely, actionable SDA. This facilitates decision-making within the compressed timelines dictated by the realities of the congested, contested, competitive space domain. The program delivers a combination of performance upgrades to the existing White Sands Missile Range and Maui GEODSS sites, including advanced data exploitation and rapid data dissemination, and will incorporate coalition and commercial data to provide a global capability to positively identify an adversary committing an orbital attack. The program includes updates to the GEODSS image processing and optical subsystems that will enhance the sensitivity, resolution, search rate, detection processing, and extend the life of the GEODSS system.
