According to MDA, the spacecraft is providing important test data and imagery of hypersonic test events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking with reporters April 9 at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Ed Zoiss, president of space and airborne systems at L3Harris, said the company is ready to start producing the HBTSS sensor in high volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sensor has proven itself out, and we need to start full-rate production,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re ready to do it now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an executive order <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/the-iron-dome-for-america\/\">signed just one week into his second term<\/a>, President Donald Trump directed the Pentagon to start making plans for a Golden Dome missile defense capability made up of advanced sensors and interceptors designed to track and neutralize both traditional and high-end missile threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, the Space Force, Missile Defense Agency, National Reconnaissance Office and other Defense Department agencies have been crafting options for achieving that vision. They\u2019ve also reached out to the defense industry for ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zoiss said L3Harris proposed increased HBTSS production as part of its response to DOD\u2019s call for input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe put in an architecture that we recommend for HBTSS and how we would see it to have global coverage,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re waiting to see what comes back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/space\/2025\/02\/12\/space-development-agency-launches-study-on-trumps-iron-dome-order\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/L3Harris-Missile-Defense-Agency-HBTSS.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Space Development Agency launches study on Trump\u2019s Iron Dome order<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">In a notice Wednesday, the agency said it is conducting a study that looks at how its architecture could be expanded as part of the Iron Dome order.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An increase in HBTSS production would be a shift in how DOD officials have envisioned the sensor\u2019s role in space-based missile defense \u2014 at least publicly. MDA launched the capability in partnership with the Space Development Agency, which is building out a constellation of satellites in low Earth orbit that can detect and track hypersonic and ballistic missile threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That constellation will include tracking satellites equipped with wide-field-view sensors \u2014 built by L3Harris, Northrop Grumman and Sierra Space \u2014 and a smaller number of medium-field-of-view sensors like HBTSS, designed to track dimmer targets and send data to interceptors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SDA is buying the tracking satellites in batches, or tranches, and has awarded contracts for Tranche 0, 1 and 2. Zoiss said the medium-field-of-view sensors SDA is buying for Tranche 1 and 2 are essentially copies of the HBTSS capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a speech Wednesday at the symposium, MDA Deputy Director Maj. Gen. Jason Cothern said the agency looks forward to the capability being \u201coperationalized\u201d by the Space Force and integrated into SDA\u2019s architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cothern said HBTSS has, to date, demonstrated \u201cremarkable capability essential for missile defense.\u201d MDA has used the satellite to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/06\/14\/missile-defense-agency-satellites-track-first-hypersonic-launch\/\" target=\"_blank\">track two separate hypersonic test flights<\/a> and the sensor has collected more than 650,000 images of tailored test events and \u201cinteresting real-world events,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/space\/2024\/06\/14\/missile-defense-agency-satellites-track-first-hypersonic-launch\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/L3Harris-Missile-Defense-Agency-HBTSS.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Missile Defense Agency satellites track first hypersonic launch<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The flight the satellites tracked was the first for MDA\u2019s Hypersonic Testbed \u2014 a platform for various hypersonic experiments and advanced components.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As DOD considers how HBTSS might fit into its Golden Dome strategy, MDA has begun work on a follow-on capability, a Discriminating Space Sensor, or DSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whereas HBTSS was designed to track dimmer targets than traditional missile-warning sensors, DSS will help the Defense Department distinguish missile targets from enemy countermeasures, which are meant to make their advanced weapons harder to identify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MDA plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/space\/2024\/08\/19\/missile-defense-agency-eyes-discriminating-space-sensor-launch-by-2029\/\" target=\"_blank\">launch a prototype by the end of the decade<\/a>, though Cothern said budget deliberations \u2014 which will be informed by the department\u2019s Golden Dome approach \u2014 could shorten that timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe whole intent is to, like HBTSS, do an on-orbit demonstration of these discriminating capabilities to inform the future space-based architectures and what we need for next-generation missile defense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MDA Director Heath Collins said last year DSS had completed ground concept testing and was ready to move into the on-orbit demonstration phase. The agency requested funds for DSS in its fiscal 2025 budget, but the documents don\u2019t specify how much it asked for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like HBTSS, the agency will lead prototype development and then work with the Space Force to transition DSS for operational use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company proposed increased HBTSS production as
