Summary:
- BAE Systems, a major defense and aerospace company, has secured a $16 million contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop autonomous space-based surveillance technology.
- The goal of this project is to create a system that can autonomously monitor and track objects in space, such as satellites and space debris, without the need for constant human intervention.
- This technology could help improve the safety and efficiency of space operations by providing real-time information about the location and status of various objects in orbit.
