Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Capability
Abstract
The US Army Tactical Space Strategy provides Tactical Land Component Forces with space capabilities required to enable force projection and maneuver during Multi-Domain Operations. US Army space-based sensors will integrate with commercial and national systems to provides resilient communications, assured PNT and deep sensing capabilities required in the targeting process to enable rapid and responsive sensor-to-shooter applications required to engage and defeat Anti-Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) forces and enable force projection and maneuver in contested Multi-Domain Operations The LEO Satellite Capability will provide prototyping, development and experimentation of the Tactical Space Layer (TSL) sensors which are designed to provide wide-area, responsive deep area sensing required for beyond line of sight (BLOS) targeting and force maneuver, significantly reducing Sensor to Shooter (S2S) timelines. Follow-on persistent prototype tactical sensor capabilities will be operational in FY 2021/2022 and will be integrated with the Army Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) ground station to tactically task, receive and disseminate data to directly support live-fire S2S demonstrations and assessments.
