LEO Satellite Capability
Abstract
The United States Army Tactical Space Strategy provides tactical land component forces with space-based capabilities required to close the top three Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) gaps. National, DoD, commercial space-based, and High Altitude (HA) sensor data will be integrated into ground architecture to provide resilient communications, assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT), deep sensing capabilities, and Processing Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) required in the targeting process. These capabilities will enable rapid and responsive Sensor-to-Shooter (S2S) applications required to engage and defeat A2/AD forces and enable force projection and maneuver in contested Multi-Domain Operations. The LEO Satellite Capability is now called the LEO Battle Management Command, Control (BMC2) and Ground Infrastructure. The BMC2 and Ground Infrastructure will provide prototyping, experimentation, and risk reduction activities for ground architecture, supporting wide-area, responsive, and deep-area sensing required for Beyond-Line-of-Sight (BLOS) targeting and force maneuver, significantly reducing Sensor to Shooter (S2S) timelines. It will enable Warfighters at echelon to dynamically task, receive and disseminate data to directly support live-fire S2S demonstrations and assessments including Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing/s (APNT/S) Cross Functional Team (CFT) Campaign of Learning and Army Futures Command (AFC) Project Convergence.
