The Department of Defense is developing the Space-Based InfraRed
System (SBIRS) to replace existing early warning satellites that
alert U.S. military commanders to foreign missile launches, and
to provide new capabilities to support missile defense
objectives. SBIRS consists of two separate, but related,
programs. SBIRS-High and SBIRS-Low. SBIRS-High, managed by the
Air Force, would replace existing Defense Support Program early
warning satellites. SBIRS-Low, managed by the Missile Defense
Agency, would perform mid-course missile tracking, target
discrimination, and other tasks associated with missile defense.
Bothe systems have encountered technical challenges, affecting
cost and schedule, and hence are controversial. Congress reduced
funding for both programs in FY2002. DOD requested a significant
increase for SBIRS-High in its FY2003 budget; plans for SBIRS-
Low have not been released yet.
