Space Radar: To make the most of this future ISR system, the Pentagon may have to learn to share

The bureaucratic “struggle for the joystick,” as one official described the situation surrounding the U.S. Space Radar satellite program, is a power play of unusually high consequences. If the radar satellites are eventually built, they would bounce cloud-piercing radar signals off the ground to produce fine-resolution, day-or-night images of objects while also detecting the movements of missiles on trucks and other mobile targets.
