Satellites - "SBIRS"

[jhelton]

Not sure if this is a bug or not but here goes.

Constructed a small/simple scenario involving a US, Carrier Battle Group, and a Chinese DF-21 launching against the CVN. I wanted to see if any US satellites could detect the launch of the DF-21medium range ballistic missile.

After looking at public info on the satellites included with CMANO I thought "SBIRS" would be a good choice. I selected SBIRS (placed a check mark in its box and selected Load), but no satellite loads. Is anything supposed to load with this selection?

I even selected and loaded a couple of the geo-sync satellites associated with the the SBIRS program, "USA-184" and "USA-200", and while they loaded they did not provide any launch indication of the DF-21 when it launched against the CVN. However, it should be said that the AEGIS SM-3's did a great job on the DF-21 even when the ballistic missile was not detected by the carrier battle group until very late.

I couln't get the SBIRS satellite to load either. Anyway, I added the other ballistic missile satellites and the STSS picked them up about 33 nm downrange from launch.

Hi guys

Our data on SBIRS is incomplete. Will work once we fill in blank that involves some research.

Thanks!
