- Description
- The Space Fence (formerly Air Force Space Surveillance System S-Band Radar) program provides a radar system operating in the S-band frequency range to replace the AFSSS VHF "Fence" radar that currently performs detection of orbiting space objects. The Space Fence will have a modern, net-centric architecture that is capable of detecting much smaller objects in low/medium Earth orbit (LEO/MEO). The system will operate with greater accuracy and timeliness to meet warfighter requirements for Space Situational Awareness. ESC is conducting a Concept Studies Phase, including a Risk Reduction contract effort, during the FY05 to FY07 time period. The follow-on system development, production, and fielding phases are expected to begin in FY08, with development contract award early that year. Delivery of the Initial Operational Capability (IOC) is expected in the FY13-14 time frame.
