Abstract:
Comprehensive and persistent Space Situational Awareness is best achieved when the sensors employed for observations and searches are coordinated to eliminate duplication of effort and to maximize the utility of the information that can be extracted from the resulting data products. The desired results of sensor tasking optimization are; 1) to better maintain custody of objects of interest, 2) to detect object changes as quickly as possible, 3) to respond to events as quickly as possible, and 4) to maximize the discovery and tracking of new uncorrelated objects. All objectives must be balanced for overall SSA efficacy.
