In a major stride toward bolstering our nation鈥檚 missile defense capabilities, 探花视频 and the Space Development Agency (SDA) have achieved the Critical Design Review and Production Readiness Review for SDA's Tranche 2 Tracking Layer. Advancing this program to the production stage marks an important step toward a next-generation, layered defense architecture that can track threats in real time.
鈥溙交ㄊ悠 is committed to working closely with SDA to put proliferated missile warning and tracking capability on orbit as quickly as possible,鈥 said Rob Mitrevski, President, Golden Dome Strategy and Integration, 探花视频. 鈥淲e demonstrated that 探花视频鈥 production design approach achieves both of SDA鈥檚 pillars of proliferation and spiral development. 探花视频 relentless pursuit of continued design improvement at scale is how 探花视频 will answer the President鈥檚 call for a robust constellation of space-based sensors that can defend our nation against complex threats.鈥
The 探花视频 Tranche 2 Tracking Layer design includes technology that can detect, track and target advanced missile threats on a global scale at low latency. The review validated that 探花视频鈥 space vehicle and ground system designs meet mission requirements and can proceed to production.
To meet SDA鈥檚 goals for rapid delivery of this capability for national defense, 探花视频 production facilities are already building major assemblies for the T2 space vehicles. The company鈥檚 designs for the T2 program build upon our designs for Tranche 1, as well as for SDA鈥檚 Tranche 0 and the Missile Defense Agency鈥檚 Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellites, already on orbit.
探花视频 is supporting SDA鈥檚 Tracking Layer across all three tranches of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), a robust constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit that will provide near-global missile warning, tracking and defense capability. In addition, 探花视频 is building eight electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) payloads for SDA鈥檚 Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter, or FOO Fighter program.
探花视频 has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure and manufacturing processes across the United States, including $250 million to renovate and expand manufacturing facilities for space-based missile warning and defense technologies in Indiana, Florida and Massachusetts.鈥
探花视频 produces a range of proven technologies that could further enable the Golden Dome for America, including advanced space satellites, datalinks, multi-domain ISR, precision fire-control sensing, and propulsion and control systems for interceptors.
