Space Domain Awareness (SDA)

Abstract

SST - provides a fundamentally new approach to optical ground based surveillance of space objects the ability to detect an unprecedented number of objects with accuracies and sensitivities beyond that of current sensors. Ibex - demonstrates an advanced SSA data fusion based on SST data and extendable to other current and future sensors capability to dynamically task disparate sensors and efficiently process data to provide actionable information. Space Domain Awareness (SDA) would continue to demonstrate the potential for revolutionary SSA concepts by enabling a shift from a sensor-centric model to a cost efficient data-centric model utilizing an incentive-for-service collaborative network of users with access to data from numerous distributed sensors.
