Job Shadow Description

Tour of the Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) and Space Based Infrared Surveillance (SBIRS) Programs

The Job Shadow opportunity will provide an overview of the AEHF and SBIRS missions, including tours into the hi-bay to see a satellite and to the solar array manufacturing center. The next space age starts now.

The AEHF system provides vastly improved global, survivable, protected communications capabilities for strategic command and tactical warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms. The jam-resistant system also serves international partners including Canada, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Australia, and coming in 2020, NATO.

The SBIRS system uses infrared surveillance to provide early missile warning for the U.S. military and is considered one of the nation's highest priority programs. The system includes a combination of satellites and hosted payloads in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) and Highly Elliptical Orbit (HEO) and ground hardware and software. SBIRS has prowerful overhead sensors that provide vast amounts of data. At the SBIRS Mission Control Station, Overhead Persistent Infrared Battlespace Awareness Center at Buckley Air Force Base, Colorado, this data is being used for operational applications across areas llike battlespace awareness, intelligence and 24/7 tactical alerts.
