\"Teledyne<\/p>\n

Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, a global leader in advanced imaging and sensor solutions, is pleased to announce the start of production on multiple awards to deliver state-of-the-art infrared Focal Plane Modules (FPMs) in support of the Space Development Agency\u2019s (SDA) Tracking Layer Tranche 3 (TRKT3) program. These sensors will support SDA satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) as part of SDA\u2019s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA), designed to strengthen resilient missile warning, missile tracking, and missile defense capabilities.<\/p>\n

Tranche 3 of the Tracking Layer focuses on technological improvements and expanded capabilities to counter advanced and evolving threats from hypersonic glide vehicles and other missile systems. Teledyne\u2019s industry-leading sensors feature radiation-hardened, multi-megapixel detectors providing best-in-class sensitivity, precision, and reliability. These performance advancements align with SDA\u2019s spiral development model.<\/p>\n

As a trusted supplier of advanced imaging systems, Teledyne\u2019s scalable manufacturing operations enable the delivery of highly complex components that play a role in national security and space innovation. Teledyne\u2019s track record includes delivering flight-proven sensor technology for over 100 Earth observation missions.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeledyne is proud to continue our longstanding partnership with the <\/em>Space Development Agency<\/em> established in Tranches 0, 1, and 2, and we are honored to support the Tracking Layer\u2019s next evolution in Tranche 3,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>Megan Tremer, President of Teledyne Imaging Sensors<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong> \u201cThese awards reflect our deep commitment to SDA\u2019s mission, and we are excited to introduce feature upgrades that align with SDA\u2019s spiral development model on an aggressive timeline.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
