KnownSpace Advanced SDA Services
Kratos’ KnownSpace Space Domain Awareness (SDA) services deliver data and analytics integrated across the orbital, link, and terrestrial segments to support the commercial, civil, and defense market. KnownSpaces’ services offer critical insights that augment today’s traditional resources and tools for understanding and responding to emerging on-orbit threats.
SDA has become even more vital to mission success because of increasing commercial space activity and escalating number of international actors influencing the dynamic space theater. In today’s contested and congested environment, a complete operational picture of space domain awareness is critical and KnownSpace is here to help.
Highly Accurate Tracking and Maneuver Detection provides satellite position and velocity with 100 meter accuracy or better, 30 minute revisit rate, with no solar exclusion window or cross-tagging closely spaced objects.
Signal Survey and Characterization measures satellite transmissions and characterizes signals to reveal key attributes including bandwidth, center frequency, modulation type, and power.
EMI Detection services are available at high revisit rates and with continuous monitoring. C2 and payload signals must be monitored for both accidental and deliberate interference.
Signal Geolocation pinpoints fixed and mobile terrestrial emitters with a typical accuracy of 5 kilometres.
In addition to these standard services, Kratos provides tailored solutions including EMI Mitigation as a turnkey service and Custom Data Collection capabilities leveraging our worldwide KnownSpace network.
KnownSpace captures RF signals to locate and track objects in space, understand missions and provide actionable insights.
Electro-optical systems lose custody during the day-time and ground-based radar is not cost-effective beyond LEO. Neither are suited to the proximity operations and interactions that are becoming common. RF complements, rather than replaces these legacy technologies as it can only see active objects, and not inactive debris.
