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 into ground architecture to provide resilient communications, assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), deep sensing capabilities and Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) required in the targeting process. These capabilities will enable rapid and responsive Sensor-to-Shooter (S2S) 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 and Control (BMC2) and Ground 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. FY2023 Base funding in the amount of $35.509 million provides prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities for the Army Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) and Army Theater-Level Access Node (ATHENA) ground station architectures. This supports wide-area, responsive, and deep-area sensing and force maneuver. It will also enable ground stations to dynamically task, receive and disseminate data to directly support live-fire, S2S demonstrations and assessments.
