The system aims to ensure that there is no gap in capability as the  current systems in the network reach the end of their life spans. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cWe\u2019ve partnered with the Air Force on requirements trade studies  and analysis, balancing cost, capability and technical maturity to  deliver a system that provides critical space situational awareness  capability to the warfighter.
