Agile, Adaptive, and Ad Hoc (AAA) Emergency 911 (E911) Communications, Space Situational Awareness (SSA), Missile Warning, and Weapon Targeting Networ

Many of the 10,000 Hezbollah missiles fired at Israel in 2006 are the Fadj-3 rockets fired at Americans in Iraq. The Iron Dome, EAPS-ID, and Stunner anti-missile batteries can shoot-down millions of these shorter-range (under 70-250 km) missiles starting in 2010, but their cueing radars detect a limited portion of their trajectories which reduces their desirable 30-second intercept windows. Since 2007, China shot-down a satellite, a commercial Iridium satellite was destroyed by an undetected Russian satellite, and North Korea and Iran tested maneuvering warheads in space. The recently launched TacSat-3 and NFIRE satellites have 50-cm or larger aperture cameras that can detect these shorter-range rockets and ASAT collision hazards from orbit, but this is not their primary mission. An ad-hoc network of CubeSat satellites with agilely developed 7.5-cm cameras can communicate with each other and TacSat-3 using patented PeerSat Inter-Satellite Links to adapt tasking between cheap 7.5-cm and expensive 50-cm cameras to coordinate dramatically faster cueing for short-range missile defense, space situational awareness (SSA), and ASAT collision defense. PeerSat Links also provide Emergency 911 (E911) communications and immediate warnings to other orbiting spacecraft, and in-flight re-targeting to DARPA NetFires missiles or Stunner interceptors using weapon data links to counter-strike.
