These are very, very slow object in the space, if you will, going at the speed of the wind essentially.
[…]So as Assistant Secretary Dalton talked about, radars essentially filter out information based on speed. So you can set various gates. We call them velocity gates that allow us to filter out low-speed clutter. So if you have radars on all the time that we’re looking at anything from zero speed up to, say, 100, you would see a lot more information.
We have adjusted some of those gates to give us better fidelity on seeing smaller objects. You can also filter out by altitude. And so ... Read even more
