WASHINGTON — The Space Development Agency (SDA) announced plans to procure two separate ground systems in support of its experimental missile defense satellites. These systems will be crucial for demonstrating advanced space-based sensors designed to track and destroy hypersonic missile threats.
The first program, dubbed Advanced Fire Control Ground Infrastructure (AFCGI), will establish a cloud-based ground system at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. This system will serve as the nerve center to run missile tracking experiments, the first of which is the Foo Fighter constellation — short for Fire-control On Orbit Support to the Warfighter.
