Low SWaP-C Tactical Awareness Payload for Proliferated, Agile Satellites (TAPPAS) for Space Domain Awareness

SBIR · Phase: BOTH · Topic DAF26BX06-DV511 · Solicitation 26.BX

This D2P2 effort is to develop low Size, Weight, Power, and Cost (SWaP-C) technology for an on-board sensing payload to provide local situational awareness. This effort specifically looks to target low SWaP-C payload and on-board processing capability to sense and assess objects within the local area. This effort targets the combination of in-space sensing and sense-making with the goal to enable both self-protection through the organic ability to detect, track, and characterize immediate threats to support threat response, but also contributes to shared awareness of the tactical space picture across the domain. Following the traditions of air, maritime, and ground combat architectures, proliferated tactical sensors and their on-board assessment technology must become part of any combat system baseline. As such, this payload capability will become a critical enabler for mission resilience and ultimately, space superiority, through greater autonomy, decision-agility and survivability in contested space warfighting environments.
