Description
We present a groundbreaking technology for detecting, tracking, and identifying hypersonic vehicles that goes beyond the traditional spectral bands of the Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) system. Through a comprehensive model of sensor characteristics, orbital parameters, target and background signatures, and glide/dive trajectories, we will optimize our sensor design and orbit using AI/ML techniques to achieve maximum detection and tracking capabilities.
