WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th January, 2019) The United States will start working on a space sensor layer for missile defense in 2019 and the tests are expected in 2021, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Michael Griffin told reporters on Thursday.
"With regards to space layer, obviously, it starts with the sensor layer, the sensor capability," Griffin said. "We think the best approach is a network of satellites in low orbit.... We are getting started on that this year."
Experiments will be conducted in 2021-2022, he added, and there may be operational systems in the mid and late part of the 2020s.
