Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division organized a workshop from May 10 to 11 for Multi-SpecTral High-Resolution Imaging and Targeting Sensor, an effort to develop maritime electro-optical/infrared capabilities to expand visibility over multiple targets. According to Office of Naval Research Program Officer Benjamin Conley, the program will also enable long-range situational awareness and targeting. Conley, […]
Lockheed Martin will work with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Aviation and Missile Center to connect ground-based platforms with satellites to advance beyond-line-of-sight connectivity. The effort will be conducted under a cooperative research and development agreement, which provides the company access to AvMC’s System Integration Lab, where concepts of operations for linking defense […]
Northrop Grumman will start producing two Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Polar missile-warning satellites for the Space Systems Command after clearing a preliminary design review. The company received a $47 million contract in 2018 for designing the polar satellites, called Eagle-3, and was awarded a $2.37 billion contract in 2020 to begin the development of […]
The National Geospational-Intelligence Agency will demonstrate how the Joint Regional Edge Node can turn satellite imagery into usable data that would be disseminated in hard-to-reach locations. The NGA is developing four JRENs that will be installed in multiple locations around the world. Under the JREN concept, nodes will be placed closer to users, allowing them […]
FAST Labs, the research and development organization of BAE Systems, has received a $7 million contract to work on Oversight, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s autonomous space-based target tracking program. DARPA aims to procure a cross-constellation system that maintains continuous custody over a large number of objects. Surveillance technology developed under Oversight will be […]
