U.S. Space Development Agency outlines progress made so far in demonstrating a satellite-based Link 16 system to transmit data directly from space.
SDA director Derek M. Tournear spoke at the Air & Space Forces Association’s (AFA) main annual conference just outside Washington , D.C. yesterday .
The agency is using satellites from York Space Systems , with the first data sent via this system in November of last year .
SDA has demonstrated the detection of “a lot of targeted opportunities, including some small, short-range ballistic missile launches — we’ve been able to detect and track them, as well as larger launches and even the Starship reentry, things like that.
The next phase of all this work will involve yet more satellites, under Tranche 1 of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA ), which will seek to make operational the communications capabilities tested so far.
