The Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), in partnership with U.S. Space Forces-Indo-Pacific (USSPACEFOR-INDOPAC), the Space Domain Awareness (SDA) Tools, Applications, & Processing (TAP) Lab, and with support from India’s Innovations for Defence Excellence (iDEX), is launching the Dual Horizons: U.S.-India Satellite Tracking Challenge. The $150,000 prize challenge will focus on detecting and tracking satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) in contested environments and seeks to identify companies that can develop algorithms to track satellites attempting to evade detection in near real-time over the #INDOPACOM area of responsibility. The application will close on Jan. 9, 2025, and an "Ask Me Anything" session will be held on Dec. 4, 2024. Learn more about applying here: https://lnkd.in/eyP_qirm
