ISR-2: Electromagnetic Sciences & Cognitive Space Applications

Electromagnetic Sciences & Cognitive Space Applications Developing and applying remote sensing capabilities to problems of global security and related sciences The Space and Remote Sensing Group (ISR-2) develops and applies remote sensing instrumentation to problems of national security and related sciences.

ISR-2 is composed of scientists and engineers. The majority have PhDs in Space Physics, Nuclear Physics, or Plasma Physics. They are engaged in pioneering science missions, developing sensors and systems to detect man-made and naturally occurring electromagnetic phenomena. By providing satellite-borne RF detectors to the U.S. government, ISR-2 supports monitoring of the atmosphere and near-Earth space for nuclear detonations. Focus Areas Nuclear Nonproliferation and Research space-based nuclear detonation detection space situational awareness airborne remote sensing nuclear proliferation detection atmospheric science, climatology, lightning science, ionospheric physics, planetary science, astrophysics Radio-frequency (RF) sensing research and development RF detection technology and methods Radio interferometry techniques for astrophysics and space situational awareness Source, propagation, instrument, systems development, and modeling Field testing On-orbit RF science and applications U.S. Nuclear Detection System operations: performance assessment, anomaly resolution, support of electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) sensor missions Science: ionospheric propagation and effects, lightning science Designing new generation EMP sensors, beacons, antennas Electromagnetic measurement and signatures Novel RF and optical sensing and processing techniques Nuclear proliferation detection Signature discovery and definition Field testing
