The Navy's Target Indicator Experiment (TIE) payload is part of the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)-developed TacSat-2 spacecraft, which is the second in a series of Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) satellites built to experiment with making space-based assets more responsive to the needs of tactical forces. TacSat-2 was launched on 16 December 2006 from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on a Minotaur 1 launch vehicle. The spacecraft was placed into a 420 km orbit at an inclination of 40 degrees. The NRL TIE payload is designed to perform real-time collection of RF signals from 0.5 to 18.0 GHz using an adaptation of an unmanned air vehicle payload. The TIE payload is also capable of collecting the Automatic Identification System (AIS) signal now required on large ships for maritime safety and security.
