Key Details
Official Description
The United States Space Force (USSF), through the Space Development Agency (SDA), is developing the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA)—a resilient, threat-driven constellation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) designed to deliver global missile warning, tracking, and data transport capabilities. The Tracking Layer of the PWSA relies on infrared (IR) sensors to detect and track advanced missile threats, including ballistic and hypersonic systems.
