Low Earth Orbit (LEO) / Intel Surv Recon (ISR)

Abstract

The Low Earth Orbit (LEO) effort will provide prototyping, development and experimentation of High Altitude sensors and Tactical Space Layer (TSL) sensors (electro optical, synthetic aperture radar, and radio frequency) 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 integrated with the Army Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) ground station and theater gateways which will provide direct tasking and assured access directly supporting live-fire Sensor-to-Shooter (S2S) demonstrations and assessments. FY2022 Base funding in the amount of $75.098 million provides prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities to satellite prototypes, 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. All funding is in support of the Active Component. Note: LEO funding transitions from Project 907 to Project CC5 in FY2022.
