On April 7, LeoLabs, a provider of persistent orbital intelligence, announced plans to further proliferate its Global Radar Network with Scout, a new, next-generation radar class designed for mobility, modularity, and rapid deployment. As space becomes more congested, competitive, and unpredictable, this new paradigm in ground-based space surveillance is designed to keep pace with and directly meet evolving mission needs.
The company unveiled its first expeditionary Scout radar this morning at the 40th annual Space Symposium. Scout is a containerized S-band Direct Radiating Array (DRA) radar system that can be easily transported for rapid deployment to any location worldwide in response to dynamic Space Domain Awareness (SDA) missions, including monitoring foreign launches. Scout radars can be deployed solo or in dense networks depending on mission requirements.
“Scout is a game changer for advanced SDA. Mobile radars offer timely proliferation and the ability to quickly adapt to changing threats by deploying wherever and whenever our customers need it most,” said LeoLabs CEO Tony Frazier. “By integrating next-generation and legacy radars, LeoLabs is creating a resilient, low-latency network for persistent Orbital Intelligence. As we deploy new radar classes and technologies, LeoLabs continues to expand our capabilities across mission sets and orbital regimes, enhancing our ability to detect, track, and characterize objects and activity in space.”
