Space-Based Interceptors for Boost-Phase Missile Defense in the Endo-Atmospheric Region
U.S. Department of Defense
Description
The U.S. Space Force is seeking technologies to develop space-based interceptors that can stop missiles during the boost phase while they are still within the atmosphere (below 120 km). The focus is on compact, high-performance systems that enable rapid, precise, and survivable intercepts from space.
Key priorities:
- High-G propulsion systems suitable for rapid endo-atmospheric engagements
- Advanced seekers for fast, accurate target detection and tracking
- …
The U.S. Space Force (USSF) is seeking innovative solutions to advance the development of space-based interceptors (SBIs) capable of conducting boost-phase missile defense within the endo-atmospheric region (below 120 km altitude). This effort aims to close critical capability gaps in early inte…
