Knowing when to build on commercial systems and when to develop something new can be the difference between parity and information dominance.
L3Harris, Northrop score $1.3B in SDA hypersonic missile tracking contracts
The awards are a first step in the Space Force's plan, which will move the Defense Department away from today's reliance on a a handful of large expensive satellites in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) and highly elliptical polar orbits, SDA Director Derek Tournear said.
To track hypersonic missiles, Space Force to develop ‘at least’ 4 MEO satellites
A study by the Space Warfighting Analysis Center that determined a multi-layered network of satellites in Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO), highly-elliptical polar orbit, Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) is necessary to provide comprehensive ballistic and hypersonic missile warning and tracking.
To infinity and beyond: New Space Force unit to monitor ‘xGEO’ beyond Earth’s orbit
Space Force has established the new 19th Space Defense Squadron to monitor what officials now refer to as "xGEO" space.
Space Force plans multiple hosted payloads for GEO belt monitoring
Space System Command's overarching goal is to develop "diverse" capabilities for space domain awareness across all orbits.
