LEO Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project matures Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellation management for space order-of-battle architectures and protocols. The advanced technology development will involve using two spacecraft and will leverage commercial LEO mega-constellation investments to develop capabilities, which support direct sensor-to-shooter data links while under control by a maneuver battalion commander. Technology will be optimized to enable communications and deep strikes in contested environments. This Project supports the Army's efforts to proliferate and control space assets to support the tactical ground commander. It includes exploration efforts to augment missile warning, Global Positioning System (GPS), and global communications. The work cited 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 US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) Technical Center in Huntsville, AL and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Arlington, VA.
