Next Generation Satellites and Sensors to Counter Hypersonic Missiles
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#6HCB3)
A new, elevated sensor architecture is required to detect, identify, and track a spectrum of maneuvering missile threats with sufficient quality to support missile defense fire control. These threats combine high speeds, unpredictable, non-ballistic trajectories, and large raid sizes to stress legacy defense designs. SpaceX has already place over 5000 Starlink satellites into orbit.
