Another DSP satellite was lost in 1999, DSP-19, after its Inertial Upper Stage failed following launch from a Titan 4B booster. [8] DSP-19 was a USAF Defense Support Program missile early warning satellite equipped with an infrared telescope to detect rocket launches. The Titan 4B rocket placed the IUS upper stages and payload into a 188 km x ...
STSS was designed to be the low Earth orbiter (LEO) within the layered Ballistic Missile Defense System. It complemented the geosynchronous Defense Support Program, the Space-Based Infrared System, and other overhead non-imaging infrared (ONIR) systems [15] [16] and provided tracking cues to systems on the surface. The STSS program was ...
Observation of a Delta II rocket launch by a SBIRS satellite in 2008. The United States was the first country to attempt to establish a space-based early warning system. The goal was to detect Soviet ballistic missile launches and give 20 to 33 minutes notice of the missile's arrival (against 10 to 25 minutes for the BMEWS ground-based radar ...
Internet access can be provided by tethering a mobile phone, with a mobile hotspot, or with any satellite based connections, whether portable or built into the car. Built in systems have existed since 2008 [1] and include: General Motors OnStar: provides subscription-based telecommunication, in-vehicle security, hands free calling, navigation ...
The Navigation Data Standard (NDS) initiative, is an industry grouping of car manufacturers, navigation system suppliers and map data suppliers whose objective is the standardization of the data format used in car navigation systems, as well as allow a map update capability.
Space-based radar or spaceborne radar is a radar operating in outer space; orbiting radar is a radar in orbit and Earth orbiting radar is a radar in geocentric orbit. A number of Earth-observing satellites , such as RADARSAT , have employed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to obtain terrain and land-cover information about the Earth .
The Blighter B202 Mk 2 radar from Blighter Surveillance Systems (a Plextek Group company) is an advanced E-Scan radar with no moving parts for high reliability in the field. Its weight is about 15 kg and is therefore truly man portable, about the weight of a machine gun and less than half the weight of other man-portable radars.
Ground-penetrating radar uses a variety of technologies to generate the radar signal: these are impulse, [48] stepped frequency, frequency-modulated continuous-wave , and noise. Systems on the market in 2009 also use Digital signal processing (DSP) to process the data during survey work rather than off-line.
