Hosted Payloads
Abstract
Hosted Payloads mature WFOV technology and demonstrate multi-mission capabilities including the potential for a single sensor to simultaneously perform both the strategic and tactical missions. On-orbit data is required in order to develop and validate WFOV algorithms and on-board mission data processing throughput requirements for the Strategic Missile Warning Mission. These payload risk-mitigation efforts support the potential to field future Strategic Missile Warning and/or multi-mission systems and potentially increase capablity of the PoR starer. A second payload to demonstrate strategic mission capabilities may be developed pending the outcome and recommendations of the AoA. WFOV payloads are a part of all evolved and new architecture alternatives.
