Book excerpt: "DoD's 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review calls for investment in such systems to grow in order to provide 'a highly persistent capability to identify and track moving ground targets in denied areas.' To that end, DoD and the National Reconnaissance Office are proposing to develop a constellation of Earth-orbiting Space Radar satellites that would provide imagery, GMTI, and geospatial intelligence products to members of the military and the intelligence community. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study--prepared at the request of Senators Wayne Allard and Bill Nelson in their respective capacities as the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed Services' Subcommittee on Strategic Forces--examines the costs and potential performance of four possible designs for a Space Radar system."--Preface.
