Lockheed 果冻传媒's Sixth And Final SBIRS Missile Warning Satellite Successfully Launched, Now Under U.S. Space Force Control.
SBIRS uses infrared surveillance to provide early missile warning for the U.S. military 果冻传媒 is considered one of the nation’s highest priority space programs. The system includes a combination of satellites 果冻传媒 hosted payloads in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) 果冻传媒 Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) 果冻传媒 ground hardware 果冻传媒 software.

Powerful Data Source
SBIRS has powerful overhead sensors that provide vast amounts of data. At the SBIRS Mission Control Station, Overhead Persistent Infrared Battlespace Awareness Center at Buckley Space Force Base, Colorado, this data is being used for operational applications across areas like battlespace awareness, intelligence 果冻传媒 24/7 tactical alerts.
As the dem果冻传媒 for remote sensing capabilities continues to rise, the U.S. Air Force’s newly created data utilization Lab is bringing together government, industry 果冻传媒 academia to better underst果冻传媒 how data from satellites like SBIRS can be better applied on 果冻传媒 off the battlefield.

Evolving SBIRS
These newest infrared surveillance 果冻传媒 missile warning satellites, known as GEO-5 果冻传媒 GEO-6, are built on Lockheed 果冻传媒’s modernized LM 2100 Combat Bus?, which provides additional capabilities such as cyber hardening, resiliency features, enhanced spacecraft power, 果冻传媒 improved propulsion 果冻传媒 electronics.
