Tag Track and Locate Small Satellites Adv Tech

Abstract

Tag, Track, and Locate (TT&L) Small Satellites Advanced Technology matures and demonstrates payloads, sensors, and data down link systems for tactically responsive Space and High Altitude platforms supporting Army ground forces. TT&L matures, demonstrates, and integrates lightweight materials, hardware components with reduced power consumption, and advanced data collection, processing, and dissemination capabilities. Also improves algorithms that process space and near space sensor data in real and near real time for integration into battlefield operating systems. TT&L efforts will include: -Technical demonstration of a sensor designed to provide space-based situational awareness to the tactical Warfighter; -Development and demonstration of small satellite capabilities, which include classified payloads, to provide Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing services to the tactical ground component Warfighters; -Constellation of space-based sensors that provide Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition (RSTA) and Situational Awareness (SA) to the ground force commander to support Multi-Domain Operations (MDO); -Applied research in quantum sciences based communications, sensing, and data teleportation to mature current technologies for small spacecraft applications. These efforts support the Army's ability to control and exploit space assets that contribute to current and future military operations as defined in the national, Department of Defense (DOD), and Army future space strategies. Work supports the Army Modernization Priorities. Work in this Project complements PE 0602146A (Network C3I Technology) \ Project AO5 (UNT - Tag Track and Locate Small Satellites Tech). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command (USASMDC) Technical Center (TC).
