In December, an Army official called TITAN “one of the foundational elements from the intelligence modernization efforts within the Army.”
Brig. Gen. Ed Barker gave reporters a look ahead on his fiscal 2024, 2025 and 2026 priorities.
TITAN is the service’s ground station meant to process data from space and land-based "sensors" using artificial intelligence, which will then be sent off to the right "shooter" — part of the core concept of JADC2.
Northrop Grumman's TITAN "pre-prototype" was designed to test only the ability of a ground station to rapidly tap into and disseminate satellite imagery.
The TITAN program is a tactical ground station that will process data from across space and land-based sensors using artificial intelligence and ship it off to the right shooter — such as one of the new Army long-range precision fires missiles.
Under the agreement with ICEYE, the Army will look especially hard at the ability to significantly cut the time it takes to relay ISR data from a satellite to shooters on the ground.
"Air and missile defense, long-range precision fires, assured position navigation and timing — all of these rely on space-enabled capabilities and access to space," said Tom Webber, director of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command Technical Center.
The Army and Air Force are still "defining the relationship" between TITAN and the Air Force's Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS), an Army spokesperson says.
This is part of a larger Army effort, launched in November by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy, to map out the service's future space endeavors.
