The need for an early anti-satellite (ASAT) capability was
defined as a result of the growing spread of space based
photography which led to a concern that hostile satellite
reconnaissance could be used against the United States and allied
military forces in the future. The U.S. Army Space and Strategic
Defense Command has been developing, demonstrating, and
integrating the advanced technologies needed for this type of
capability. These technologies have been integrated into a
prototype kill vehicle and weapon control subsystem for early
demonstration of an ASAT capability under a prior contract. This
follow-on effort will develop an operational weapon control
subsystem; and define/integrate subsystem technologies to
demonstrate hit-to-kill performance, with debris mitigation,
against hostile satellites. The option would add two flight test
demonstrations of the system with subsequent data collection and
reduction after each test. Work will be performed in Canoga
Park, Calif. (57%); Richardson, Texas (8%); San Pedro, Calif.
(4.5%); and other various small subcontractors (30.5%)., and is
