187 The Air Force investigated and assessed the health status of the “Space-Based Infrared System– Geostationary”04 satellite;
Nammo and Lockheed Martin’s Space Systems Company re-tested the liquid apogee engine of the “Space-Based Infrared System– Geostationary”04 satellite. Major General Samuel Grieves, commander of the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, stated that the investigation team used modern diagnostic techniques to assess the health status of the “Space-Based Infrared System– Geostationary”04 satellite and determined that it did not exhibit any abnormal behavior associated with the “International Communication Satellite-33E.

189 The utility of the Block 10 system at the Air Force Base;
Lockheed Martin describes the Block 10 system as the “nerve center” of the “Space-Based Infrared System,” capable of collecting data from satellite sensors and converting it into actionable reports for national defense, intelligence gathering, and civilian applications. The Block 10 system reduces data collection time, provides advanced threat detection, improved target tracking, and infrared information, and enables faster detection of dim infrared events.
