Abstract
- The article reports on the 1 billion-dollar cost avoidance the U.S. Air Force is boasting of through a redesign of the Space-Based Infrared System (Sbirs) early missile warning satellite built by Lockheed Martin. Topics discussed include the modification that was agreed to the June 2014 contract award for Sbirs geosynchronous (GEO) satellites 5-6, the flexibility the refresh design will allow, and the Air Force's Commercially Hosted Infrared Payload program.
