Signal Survey & Characterization

Understand What Satellites Are Doing

Moving Beyond Position

In today’s environment, knowing where objects are in space is no longer enough. Detecting and analyzing the signals emitted by objects in space reveals key insights on satellite’s mission, operation, and impact on the surrounding environment.

Kratos continuously surveys and classifies RF signals from space. Detailed signal measurements of on-orbit assets provide deep acumen into the space domain.

Kratos builds and maintains a catalog of signals that when combined with positional data completes the Space Domain Awareness picture. Kratos offers a variety of subscriptions or services on demand from this catalog to support customers looking to strengthen their SDA with RF data.
