RTX's FORGE MDPAF: Space-Based Missile Warning System Fully Operational

U.S 

RTX introduces FORGE MDPAF, a groundbreaking space-based missile warning system, empowering the US Space Force to process satellite data swiftly and effectively. Collaborating with the US Army, RTX also advances air defense capabilities with projects like missile-tracking satellites and the AN/SPY-6 radar system.


RTX, a leading technology company, has unveiled its latest innovation in space-based missile warning systems. The Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution Mission Data Processing Application Framework (FORGE MDPAF) is now fully operational, marking a significant milestone in enhancing the capabilities of the US Space Force’s Overhead Persistent Infrared Battlespace Awareness Center (OBAC).


This cutting-edge system is designed to process, exploit, and disseminate information gathered from satellites, enabling swift and effective responses to potential threats. What sets FORGE MDPAF apart is its ability to handle data from various sources, including the Space Force’s satellite constellation and other civil and environmental sensors.


Sandy Brown, Vice President of Raytheon Mission Solutions & Payloads, highlighted the system's adaptability to the growing volume of satellite data. "FORGE MDPAF is designed to scale to meet current missile warning data demands while also accommodating future needs as space data processing evolves," she explained.


Looking ahead, RTX anticipates further enhancements to FORGE MDPAF, envisioning its evolution into a comprehensive missile warning detection system in future upgrades.


In addition to its work with the Space Force, RTX has collaborated with the US Army to strengthen air defense capabilities across multiple domains. A notable project involves the development of seven missile tracking and warning satellites, aimed at monitoring ballistic and hypersonic launches, particularly in light of recent tests conducted by China.


This endeavor underscores RTX's commitment to bolstering national security and defense infrastructure. Another notable contribution is the development of the AN/SPY-6, an advanced air and missile defense radar system designed to enhance situational awareness for the US Navy.


These initiatives reflect RTX's dedication to innovation and collaboration in addressing emerging security challenges. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and fostering strategic partnerships, RTX continues to play a vital role in safeguarding against potential threats to global stability and security.
