The Space Based Infrared System
Brian Hartman
Chief Ground System Architect, Lockheed Martin Management & Data Systems
Lockheed Martin
Management & Data Systems in Boulder, Colorado is home to
over 300 technical and support professionals involved in development of
mission-critical distributive systems to support satellite command and control
ground systems. The primary program in Boulder is the Space Based Infrared
System (SBIRS), a system designed to replace the nation's current Defense
Support Program (DSP) with next-generation infrared sensors and ground
processing technologies. Research and development of ways to use SBIRS
technology in commercial applications is also underway at the facility. An
overview of the SBIRS system will be presented, including the motivation for
the SBIRS missions. A description of a few of the key technological aspects of
the system, such as infrared surveillance, sensor tasking, sensor scheduling,
and data processing/filtering will be given.
Refreshments will be served immediately following the presentation.

The Colorado Advanced Technology Series wants to introduce students at the
University of Colorado to the technology leaders of local and national
industries and help the leaders of those companies explain what their
companies do and why they are great places to work.
If you would like to receive email
notification of upcoming talks, subscribe to our
CATS Mailing List.
The main event of CATS is a series of technical talks in the middle of each
semester. In each seminar, a technical or business leader from a local or
national company describes new or existing technical developments, the
motivation for developing that technology and the corporate environment.
Each seminar is followed by refreshments and a chance for students and
industry representatives to mingle and talk. See
CATS Frequently Asked Questions
for further information.
