provides Rugged 36kVA UPS for new SBRIS High Ground stations. |
| Ground station that controls (SBRIS)
missile-tracking satellite network goes online. |
| A new station that operates the nation's
network of missile-tracking satellites used to detect and track missile
launches around the world has achieved initial operation capability, U.S.
Air Force officials announced in January. The Mission Control Station (MCS),
located at Buckly Air National Guard Base in Aurora, Colorado, is the first
major phase to be fielded of the three increments in the Air Force Space
Based Infrared System (SBIRS)- an important element of the country's missile
defense. |

The MCS, built by Lockheed
Martin
Space systems and Northrop Grumman,
consolidates three old ground stations into one SBIRS ground station. It
establishes the foundation for the SBIRS High and Low satellite
constellations, which when deployed defense leaders of missile launches
twice as fast as the current Defense Support Program (DSP) system, Lockheed
Martin officials say. SBIRS will provide new worldwide missile detection
and tracking capabilities using several different space components and
evolving ground element, Lockheed Martin officials say. SBIRS High will add
four satellites in geosynchronous earth orbit and two sensors in highly
elliptical orbit. SBIRS Low will add 20 to 30 satellites in low earth orbit
to provide mid-course missile tracking. |
