L3 Harris Space-based Missile Warning and Defense

 

The Emerging Threat

As global threats increase, so have our adversaries’ missile capabilities. A new generation of missiles has taken center stage: hypersonic glide vehicles. These weapons are not only faster and more maneuverable than traditional ballistic missiles but are incredibly difficult to track. Because of the faint heat signature and unpredictable flight trajectory of hypersonic missiles, the only way to identify and track them is with advanced satellite technology.

Space-based Missile Warning and Defense

6 - 8 minutes 

". . .Threats to space-based missile warning and defense assets are growing by the day. In addition to rogue satellites and space debris, directed physical attacks and cyberattacks highlight the emerging risks the U.S. military must be prepared to combat.

L3Harris is redefining how to develop and deploy missile warning and defense satellites with responsive, resilient and affordable end-to-end solutions to quickly proliferate constellations and address threats.

By leveraging proven capabilities like infrared imaging, real-time detection algorithms and common interfaces and payloads, L3Harris is rapidly addressing their mission partners’ most critical challenges, quickly and affordably.

We have proven on-orbit technology:

• Proven ability to launch reconfigurable, multimission software-defined payloads at scale
• Record of cost-effectively meeting right-sized performance requirements and balance life-cycle costs across an entire smallsat constellation architecture
• Years of experience delivering essential payloads in multiple orbits to U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)
