Bowshock I and II

The Bowshock I and II programs were funded by MDA to provide the predictive capability to design and deploy effective sensor systems for target acquisition and tracking in future atmospheric interceptor systems. As precursors to the DEBI program, Bowshock I and II focused on the UV region of the spectrum and successfully provided data needed to improve predictive capabilities in UV wavelengths by four orders of magnitude.

Bowshock I and II launched successfully on 18 February 1991 and 28 December 1995, respectively.
