The future of Joint Tactical Ground Stations (JTAGS) lies in the ability to receive and process data from multiple sensors being developed and fielded today to provide reports on events creating signatures across the energy spectrum, not only those detected by Space-based missile detection systems. This concept ensures that we avoid data and sensor stovepipes and contribute to a common operational picture. Those sensors include but are not limited to Space-Based Infrared System; Space Tracking and Surveillance System; the Alternative InfraRed Satellite System; other air-based infrared sensors; and ground, air and Space-based radars. This will not only provide a more robust capability to provide critical warning and battlespace awareness to theater commanders, but will also create the ability for JTAGS to support other customers such as the Ballistic Missile Defense System or Missile Defense Agency's kill chain for Aegis, Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense, Kinetic Energy Interceptor, or Patriot engagements. Only JTAGS, by its in-theater ability to integrate directly into the theater's missile warning architecture, and in-theater ability to directly down-link, process, and disseminate warning data, is uniquely suited to meet the Combatant Commanders' requirements for assured timely and accurate missile warning. Expanding today's capabilities enable JTAGS to continue to meet warfighter and commander requirements in the missile threat environment of the future battlefield.
