Program Summary
Dense constellations of low-earth-orbit (LEO) micro-satellites can provide new intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, which are persistent, survivable and available on-demand for tactical warfighting applications. The Small Satellite Sensors program seeks to explore new sensor concepts that are well-matched to the capabilities achievable in small satellites. The program also seeks to develop and demonstrate enabling technologies and sub-systems needed for capable, but low-cost military satellites, such as secure and high-bandwidth RF and optical inter-satellite communications links.
