The protection of geosynchronous orbit (GEO) has become a critical priority as both military and commercial assets increasingly rely on satellites positioned 36,000 kilometers above Earth. GEO hosts some of the most valuable strategic systems, including communications, early warning, and navigation satellites, making it a domain of growing competition and vulnerability.
Traditional telescopic systems, while effective, are limited by weather conditions and daylight. The U.S. Space Force’s Deep-Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) is designed to close this gap by delivering persistent, all-weather, 24/7 tracking of even the smallest objects in deep space.
