SA companies are developing satellites capable of detecting potentially dangerous radar signals from enemy forcesDEWC Systems hopes the satellites will be released into space by 2023
"All weapons that are used, other than in man-to-man combat, have some sort of targeting or guidance system that rely on radars," Mr Spencer said. The payload will reach the edge of space and will deploy a parachute before falling back down to Earth. The Koonibba Test Range has been developed by Southern Launch, which set up its headquarters in Adelaide in September 2018.
"We're very, very proud and very excited to be employing members of the Koonibba community to help us set up the range as well as operate the range," Mr Damp said.
