As the dominant user of the space domain, the United States faces the greatest strategic risk from asymmetric threats to critical economic and military assets. The ability to operate safely in space has become exponentially more challenging with increasing satellite congestion, orbital debris, and rapid maneuvering. The dependence on accessing and operating in space requires persistent, accurate tracking to ensure safe and secure operations.
Continuous space domain awareness is essential for sustainable, reliable and safe space operations. With more satellites, rising threats, and increasing congestion, the ability to maintain situational awareness and resilient combat power is necessary to ensure space superiority.
Space operations today face an increasingly complex threat environment.
The number of objects in low-earth orbit (LEO) continues to grow, including active satellites, debris and closely spaced Resident Space Objects (RSOs). This crowded environment poses risks to both military and commercial space operations, requiring constant, reliable tracking to ensure safety and mission success. Growing competition and rogue actors will continue to undermine the collaborative agreements that have allowed safe and uncontested space operations.
Emerging challenges such as rapid maneuvering objects, counterspace operations, orbital congestion, low-earth orbit Anti-Satellites (ASAT), and growing efforts to disrupt and degrade freedom of access make traditional surveillance insufficient – creating a demand for high-quality, persistent, extensive and low latency Space Domain Awareness (SDA).
OMNIGUARD is Silentium’s in-service capability that delivers the widest field of view of any radar sensor, providing fast, reliable detection and tracking of objects in very-low and low-earth orbit (LEO). Each OMNIGUARD sensor delivers the capability to continually monitor RSOs over a 270,000 square mile area (an area equivalent to the State of Texas). Its scalable architecture supports both fixed and deployable systems, offering unmatched flexibility and single-pass orbit determination for new and known Resident Space Objects (RSOs).
Harnessing the capabilities of OMNIGUARD through a data subscription service, SpaceWatch delivers high-quality, cost-effective Space Domain Awareness data. With thousands of observations every day and sustained custody of RSOs, it provides expansive coverage, critical metrics and tailored packages – enabling smarter, faster decision-making for mission success and space safety through faster reporting on Associated and Un-Correlated Tracks (UCTs). Passive radar offers unique technical advantages that can meet specific missions such as launch tracking, re-entry, and maneuver detection.
Let’s build the right Space Domain Awareness solution for your mission. Whether you’re starting your first space awareness program or enhancing an existing capability, we’ll support you every step of the way.
