Ground and space sensors for space domain awareness address a decisive operational failure mode: the inability to produce and sustain a recognised space picture with sufficient timeliness, fidelity and resilience for operational decision-making in a contested domain.
The operational problem is not the absence of policy or strategy for space security, but the insufficiency of sensing, tracking, identification and data fusion capacity required to detect, characterise and attribute events in orbit before they generate cascading disruption to space-enabled military and civilian services.
This analysis answers: What operational failure mode do ground and space sensors for space domain awareness address? What performance requirements and adequacy thresholds define a timely, high-fidelity, resilient recognised space picture? What system architecture integrates sensing, tracking, identification and data fusion in a contested domain? What industrial base and value-chain bottlenecks affect ground and space sensor capacity?
