European Missile Warning Satellites

March 8, 2004 :: Reuters :: News

While not purusing active missile defenses, France may be waking up to the need for such systems. Alcatel Space, a subsidiary of the French communications company Alcatel, appears to be now set to build missile early warning satellites for the European space company, EADS, according to Reuters. The contract is for the Systeme Preparatoire Infra-Rouge pur l’Alerte (SPIRALE) project, meaning infra-red early alert system. The two satellites could be launched in 2008.
        Update: The March issue of Janes Missiles and Rockets confirms the report by Reuters.
