Special Advanced Low-cost Surveillance Alternative (SALSA)
Abstract
SALSA supports the National Defense Strategy's focus on command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and fully networked command, control and communications modernization priority. SALSA will develop an operational, affordable prototype sensor that provides on-demand, persistent wide-area surveillance for the Arctic environment. In FY 2020, SALSA conducted final technical demonstrations and an operational demonstration. Due to COVID19 impacts, the final military utility assessment will occur in FY 2021. SALSA will transition the technical package and prototypes to U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and the U.S. Army, Program Executive Office, Missiles and Space (PEO M&S). The JCTD completes in FY 2021.
