Satellite technology is useless without the support of ground systems.
To defend Canada, we must have domain awareness of maritime and Arctic approaches. Using RADARSAT 2, Project Polar Epsilon, a joint space-based wide area surveillance and support capability, will provide the signal-processing infrastructure for improved surveillance.
It is vital to be aware of other satellites to allow precautionary measures to be taken if necessary. The goal of the Surveillance of Space Project is to ensure that Canada continues to receive priority access to the critical orbital data necessary to protect its national interests.
Increasing computing capacities, greater miniaturization and decreased power requirements are making smaller, more capable spacecraft possible. This article examines surveillance opportunities with an eye to the future.
Space is more than just an environment through which we fly (orbit) Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensors. The “Sense” component represents a major investment area in DND’s revitalized program.
An important role for First Canadians.
