Assured PNT Communications Advanced Tech

Abstract

This Project will provide prototyping, development, and experimentation of High Altitude (HA) sensors and Tactical Space Layer (TSL) sensors (electro-optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), 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. This Project matures, demonstrates, and integrates lightweight materials, hardware components with reduced power consumption, and advanced data collection, processing, and dissemination capabilities. This Project also improves algorithms that process space and near space sensor data in real and near real time for integration into battlefield operating systems. The payoff of this work will be demonstrated advanced technologies for Alternative Navigation assistance and more secure, rapid communications along with deep target sensing for deep strike lethality. Demonstrated work will be ready for transition to advanced prototypes. Work in this project complements Program Element (PE) 0602146A (Network C3I Technology) / Projects CK1 (Assured PNT Enabling Technologies) and Project CG3 (Assured PNT Communications Applied Research). The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Space and Missile Defense Command.
