Abstract

With the recent establishment of the Dutch Defence Space Security Center (DSSC), the MoD is tasked with the development of Space Situational Awareness for which a variety of systems are required. A breakdown of the need for SSA from a MoD perspective will be provided as well as how the DSSC strives to develop this capability. Further a brief insight towards future requirements will be given as well as how new technologies can help a relatively small MoD with developing relevant assets that directly support operations. Cooperation is sought with institutes and industry in order to develop the relevant knowledge, technologies and capabilities. Finally an overview of the Netherlands SSA ecosystem will be given. In particular the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) will present the optomechanical instruments and sensors for both ground and space SSA applications which is currently developing and testing
