The purpose of this research was to assess the feasibility of eliminating 1-10 cm size orbital debris using an integrated, ground based systems comprised of radar and electrooptical sensors and lasers. The radar would be used for day/night, all weather acquisition and coarse tracking and then hand off to the laser system for fine tracking and debris particle engagement.
