The Defense Sophisticated Study Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded BAE Systems’ Quick LabsTM analysis and improvement organization a $7 million contract for the Oversight autonomous space-primarily based target custody system.
Conventional space intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) collection can be siloed, labor intensive, and unable to dynamically re-evaluate swiftly adequate to take benefit of new space systems. To address this, DARPA, the U.S. Space Force, and the Space Improvement Agency are building satellite constellations to strengthen the tactical relevance of U.S. space systems.
Proliferated low earth orbit satellite constellations are considerably expanding on-orbit ISR capabilities. The DARPA Oversight system will concentrate on making an autonomous method that maintains continuous “custody” of a substantial quantity of assets across new, diversified constellations. Below the terms of the system, the technologies will be deployed to each tactical-edge satellites and ground stations.
“Rapidly advancing close to-peer adversary capabilities are driving a need to have for more extended-variety tracking at enhanced scale and timeliness,” stated Dr. John Grimes, director of Tiny Satellites at BAE Systems’ Quick Labs. “To meet this requirement, our group incorporates technical knowledge in autonomy, space processing, ISR systems, tactical-edge software program improvement, method integration and architectures, and mission concentrate.”
Perform on the system, which is element of BAE Systems’ autonomous technologies portfolio, incorporates collaboration with subcontractors OmniTeq and AIMdyn, Inc.
