Strategic Objectives
• Understand the shift from legacy GEO satellites to resilient LEO constellations.
• Master the physics of infrared sensing and heat signature detection from orbit.
• Explore the integration of AI in real-time global missile tracking.
• Gain insight into the future of multi-layered orbital defense architectures.
The Core Challenge
Traditional ground-based radar systems are blinded by the Earth's curvature, leaving nations vulnerable to low-altitude, high-speed glide vehicles.
