Staff in the Lexington Command, Control, and Communication Test Bed develop and test software tools.

Space Tactics and Test

The Space Tactics and Test Group enables decisive space-domain action through the development, operation, and testing of integrated sensing, command and control, and response systems. The space domain and the services provided by our nation’s satellites are critical to national security and civilian life. Increasingly, these services and satellites are threatened by our adversaries and global competitors. On behalf of our sponsors, the Space Tactics and Test Group is accelerating the delivery of critical capabilities to ensure our continued freedom of action in space.

Featured Projects

Optical sensors, such as the Space Surveillance Telescope, collect data that are processed by analysts at Air Force sites who use OPAL to provide detections of space objects.
software
Our researchers developed a software architecture that allows analysts to rapidly run algorithms on the volumes of sensor data collected about space objects.
Space Tactics Interns learn the operations of the high-power Millstone Hill radar that tracks space vehicles and space debris.
space
A program created by the Air Force Space Command and Lincoln Laboratory gives participants experience with advanced systems and processes for managing space operations.
