Passive ground-based sensor networks could bolster air, missile defense resilience: CSIS
Passive sensors do not need to emit energy to find and fix targets, thus, they are harder for adversaries to find, track and target.
DoD S-band needed for Golden Dome, border defense threatened by spectrum auction plans: CSIS
Selling off the low S-band "is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad idea," Tom Karako, director of the CSIS Missile Defense Project, told Breaking Defense today.
