TACTICAL SPACE RESEARCH

Abstract

This project researches and investigates technologies with the potential for space-based, high altitude, and cyberspace applications. Applied research efforts include the design and development of sensors and electronic components, communications, signal and information processing, target acquisition, position/navigation, and threat warning within space and high altitude environments as well as the design and development of technologies and analytical tools for cyber risk assessment and mitigation in acquisition systems. The applied research and technology evaluations conducted under this Project leverage other DoD space science and technology applications to support space force enhancement and cooperative satellite payload development. Successful technologies emerging from this project transition for maturation and demonstration under the Space Applications Technology in program element 0603006A. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) in Huntsville, AL.
