Joint Tactical Ground Systems (JTAGS) Product
Joint Tactical Ground Stations (JTAGS) are forward-deployed, echelon-above-corps, space ground systems that receive, process and disseminate direct down-linked infrared data from overhead sensors. They provide commanders with real-time warning, alerting and cueing information on ballistic missile launches.
Ongoing product improvements integrate JTAGS with the next-generation Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) satellites.
Four JTAGS are deployed worldwide as part of the U.S. Strategic Command’s Theater Event System.
U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command Soldiers operate JTAGS, providing 24/7 support to theater operations.
