Ground-Based Surveillance and Tracking System (GSTS)

Abstract

The Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO) and its proponents (the U.S. Army and the U.S. Air Force) plan to conduct Demonstration/ Validation tests of the GSTS technology. These tests will demonstrate the ability of the technology to perform required tasks, and to validate production feasibility in support of a future decision on whether to proceed with Full- Scale Development. Demonstration/Validation tests would be conducted at the Nevada Test Site, National Test Facility, Vandenberg Air Force Base/ Western Test Range, U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll, and contractor facilities. Tests would include analyses, simulations, component/assembly tests, and flight tests. This document addresses the potential environmental consequences of the Demonstration/Validation testing of the GSTS technology. (rrh)
