Official Description

The United States Space Force (USSF), through the Space Development Agency (SDA), is leading the development and deployment of the Department of War's (DoW) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA)—a resilient, scalable constellation of satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) designed to provide global military sensing and data transport. As PWSA deployment advances, some satellites will inevitably experience end-of-life anomalies, such as propulsion failures or loss of communications, that...
