Northrop Grumman to Provide Space-based Sensors
Northrop Grumman Corporation has been selected as one of four Other Transaction Authority awards for the Phase IIa Prototype Payload Design and Signal-chain Processing Demonstration of the Missile Defense Agency’s (MDA) Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) programme.
The 12-month HBTSS Phase IIa will demonstrate the payload design for a proposed satellite constellation to detect and track hypersonic and advanced missile threats. Phase IIa retires technical risk through the demonstration of critical technologies required to track advanced weapons such as hypersonic missiles from space.
The award continues Northrop Grumman’s partnership with the MDA and broader space and missile defence community on solving critical national security challenges. The company will demonstrate its agile and affordable approach to producing space-based sensors in large quantities for proliferated, global operations.
“We are a leading technology company that has for decades been supporting the space and missile defence missions of our government customers,” said Kenneth Todorov, vice president, Missile Defense Solutions, Northrop Grumman. “HBTSS is an important undertaking that allows us to see advanced threats like hypersonic missiles in ways we haven’t been able to before. If you can see the threats, you can take them out.”
Northrop Grumman is building Phase IIa upon the concepts developed in Phase I. Work will be performed at various company locations in the U.S. The company’s end-to-end, multi-domain approach to hypersonic and ballistic missile defence spans technologies in multiple warfighting domains from sea to space, as well as the electromagnetic and cyber environments.
