Low Earth Orbit (LEO) / Intel Surv Recon (ISR)
Abstract
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) directly supports the Army Assured Position Navigation and Timing/Space (APNT/S) and Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) modernization priorities. The LEO ISR effort will provide prototyping, development, and experimentation of High Altitude and Tactical Space Layer (TSL) sensors (including electro optical, synthetic aperture radar, radio frequency, and hyperspectral) and space-based Alternative Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (ALTPNT) systems, which are designed to provide wide-area, responsive, deep-area sensing and alternative signal sources required for beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) targeting and force maneuver. The BLOS sensing will significantly reduce Sensor-to-Shooter (S2S) timelines and reliance on current, at-risk signal sources. Follow-on, persistent, prototype, tactical sensor and alternative signal capabilities will be integrated with the Army Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node (TITAN) ground station and theater gateways. The prototype sensor capabilities will provide direct tasking, assured access, and freedom of maneuver directly supporting live-fire, S2S demonstrations and assessments. FY2024 Base funding in the amount of $26.976 million provides prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities to space-based sensor and ALTPNT prototype systems, 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.
