Rapid Deployment Terminal Rapid Deployment Terminal is a communications terminal designed to be set up quickly for temporary or emergency use, providing fast-deployed connectivity through minimized installation steps and packaged connectivity equipment. Hardware Reaction Wheel Reaction Wheel is an attitude control device that changes a spacecraft's orientation by accelerating or braking an internal spinning mass, providing propellant-free pointing control through conservation of angular momentum. Hardware Satcom Hardening Satcom Hardening is the strengthening of satellite communications systems against faults, interference, environmental exposure, and security threats. It improves operational resilience. Concept/Framework Secure Telecommand Channel Secure Telecommand Channel is a protected command path that ensures telecommand messages are authenticated, controlled, and resistant to unauthorized access. Protocol Sensor-to-Shooter The end-to-end timeline and system chain connecting initial target detection by a sensor through decision-making to engagement by a weapon system, with total elapsed time across the chain serving as… Concept/Framework Signal Masking Signal Masking is the use of spectral, timing, or power behavior that makes a signal harder to detect, identify, or isolate. It lowers signal observability. Operations Space Segment Space Segment is the portion of a satellite system located in space, including spacecraft, payloads, and orbiting assets that provide the service. Hardware Star Tracker Star Tracker is an optical attitude sensor that determines spacecraft orientation by identifying stars in its field of view and comparing observed star positions with an internal catalog to compute… Hardware Sun Sensor Sun Sensor is an attitude sensor that determines spacecraft orientation by detecting the direction of the Sun and translating that measurement into an angular reference for the spacecraft. Hardware Surveillance Relay Surveillance Relay is a relay link or node that forwards surveillance data or extends surveillance communications coverage. Software
