Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellite Capability
Abstract
The United States Army Tactical Space Strategy provides tactical land component forces with space-based capabilities required to close the top three Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) gaps. National, Department of Defense (DoD), commercial Space-based, and High Altitude (HA) sensor data will be integrated in ground architecture to provide resilient communications, assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and deep sensing capabilities required in the targeting process to enable rapid and responsive sensor-to-shooter applications required to engage and defeat A2/AD forces and enable force projection and maneuver in contested Multi-Domain Operations. The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Battle Management Command, Control and Infrastructure will provide prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities for ground architecture, supporting wide area, responsive, and deep area sensing required for Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) targeting and force maneuver, significantly reducing Sensor to Shooter (S2S) timelines. It will enable warfighters at the tactical edge to dynamically task, receive and disseminate data to directly support live-fire S2S demonstrations and assessments including Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) Cross Functional Team (CFT) Campaign of Learning and Army Futures Command (AFC) Project Convergence. FY2022 Base funding in the amount of $19.638 million provides: prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities to ground station architecture, supporting wide area, responsive, and deep area sensing and force maneuver. It will enable ground stations to dynamically task, receive and disseminate data to directly support live-fire S2S demonstrations and assessments.
