HARRIER

Highly-mobile Autonomous Rapidly Relocatable Integrated Electro-optical Resources (HARRIER)

Operational flexibility and enhanced sensitivity for the most challenging missions.

HARRIER is purpose-built for rapid analysis of space domain activities, including monitoring closely-spaced object (CSO) behavior and maintaining custody of dim objects. With exceptional accuracy and sensitivity, it supports a wide range of mission applications, empowering confident operational decision-making and ensuring mission success.

Software-Defined Telescope

The HARRIER sensor suite is a software defined telescope (SDT) system in which multiple telescopes can operate independently or collaboratively as a unified system. With a standard configuration of 10 telescopes, HARRIER leverages an innovative frame-stacking approach to dynamically enhance sensitivity when required.
