US Begins Deployment of New Early Warning Satellites

The U.S. Space Force is beginning to deploy new early warning satellites. rocket attack as part of the implementation of the Next-Gen OPIR program.

As reported in Aerospace Manufacturing and Design, RTX has delivered the first NGG-1 to Lockheed Martin, which will install it on the Lm2100 CombatBus satellite platform and conduct space-simulated testing. NGG-1 is expected to be launched into geosynchronous orbit in December 2025.



Following a series of launches, the new devices are expected to replace the SBIRS constellation. In 2020, $2,4 billion was allocated for the production, integration, and deployment of the new network [but this appears to be only an “advance”]. The entire constellation is planned to be completed by 2029.

The new devices will be deployed in geosynchronous and polar near-Earth orbits and will not only detect rocket launches, but also track their movements.

Next-generation satellites will ensure that we maintain an asymmetric advantage against hostile threats

- they believe in the program management.

They will work in conjunction with constellations already located in medium and low Earth orbits.

This will make it possible to quickly engage various types of modern missiles throughout their entire flight trajectory, from initial acceleration to subsequent phases.

- says the publication.

As indicated, the satellites of the Next-Gen OPIR project will be able to detect even hypersonic systems.

      While the forelocks are dragging out their own with all their might, the NATO military-industrial complex is gradually gaining momentum and power. It is generating new reconnaissance and advanced warning systems. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are winning time to deploy NATO's military potential to the fullest. So, their own will last for a long time. As they write, until the last Ukrainian and until the lunar landscape over all the black earth?

        So it is we who are dragging out the SVO as if we do not understand where everything is heading, it is we who have been cutting/cutting off the tail piece by piece, allowing their economy to adapt to new markets, instead of abruptly stopping the supply of raw materials, to some extent because we ourselves were not ready for this.

      Money for space wassat They won't have GPS, Starlink, or other satellites in orbit. Houston has had problems for a long time, but he apparently knows nothing about them. hi

    The question is, how sensitive are they?

    If they see and track hypersonic packets, do they see the Tu-160 with afterburner? And without afterburner? And the Il-76, MiG-31 or Su-35?

      Strategic bombers are constantly under surveillance. They see the aircraft refueling and rearming, and this alone gives them a huge advantage. Post-launch monitoring must also be effective, since Koper receives warnings about missile trajectories shortly after they are launched.

      They won't calm down 100%. It is possible (with some probability) to calm down a truly evil, well-organized sect only collectively, by joining forces in much the same way as the US united its subordinates. Unfortunately, world politicians who are thinking about multipolarity, in my opinion, do not realize what kind of crazy f..k.a.d..k.o.m they are dealing with.

      As of 22, the US has 2944 active satellites.
      China - 499,
      UK - 452,
      European Union - 312,
      Russia - 185
      So don't worry about the "astronuffers": they'll land them. Russia's greatness as a space power has long since faded away thanks to the "optimizers", "skilled economists", "skilled managers" and other riffraff, Close to the Body. Soon there will be nothing left to steal. As one determined and menacing member of the Security Council said, "There's no money, but you hang in there." And listen more to Solovyov and Skabeeva.

        To the contrary, the body itself adheres to the same convictions. I don't know if anything has become clearer now. Remember the same story with the aviation industry or joining the WTO, where they ran skipping, lifting their pants. Even pragmatists don't act like that. Fanatics, convinced and limited, do that.

    No matter what anyone says... near space will still have to be cleared of garbage.
    Otherwise, this constellation will be the last thing that Humanity will see alive.

      What does Roscosmos have to do with this?
      The problem here is global - there is no huge array of technologies for building satellites with such characteristics. Everything is connected here - from schools and universities to research institutes and all areas of light and heavy engineering.

      Yes? laughing The Russian Ministry of Defense has its own space component of the early warning system. laughing

    Well, let's take that into account! We'll have to deploy the constellation of launchers closer to the mattresses, Central America, Latin America and the islands nearby.
    Well, goodbye America, if anything, regardless of your companions

    This is understandable.
    The most interesting thing is, what option did they choose so that the missiles from the silos and carriers of the Russian Strategic Missile Forces would not be launched at all?
