Potential NASA Commercial Applications: The technology and products developed under this SBIR program have the same benefits for applications in the DoD and private sectors that it has for NASA. There are a wide range of DoD programs with requirements for very high on board data and signal processing. These include new LEO and GEO space platforms such as AEHF, GPS follow ons, RADARSATs, the transformational satellite (TSAT) and advanced polar system (APS) satellite. Other applications include both DoD and NRO intelligence/reconnaisance satellites and the DoD weather satellites (DMSP). Other non-DoD US Government applications include the fleet of LEO and GEO weather satellites operated by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Private sector applications include telecommunication satellites and foreign government and commercial space systems (ESA, CNES, JAXA).
