The AIAA Los Angeles Section would like to invite you to attend our February 19th dinner/presentation event where we will be hosting USAF Col. Scott Larrimore in a presentation about


SBIRS - The Next Generation of Space Based Surveillance.


The Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) is intended to provide early warning for ballistic missile launches and overall missile detection capabilities. It is being developed as a successor to the ?early warning? satellite Defense Support Program (DSP). Since its creation, SBIRS has undergone a number of changes and modifications to the system and to the mission. Col. Larrimore will provide some detail on the current state of the system and how it is progressing as well as information about the future plans for the development of the system.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colonel Scott C. Larrimore is commander, Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) Space Group, Space and Missile Systems Center, Los Angeles, Calif. He leads a government program team of 107 personnel and over 1400 contractor personnel to develop and deploy the nation?s space-based infrared detection, targeting, and tracking systems for missile warning, missile defense, battlespace characterization, and technical intelligence. His $20 billion space systems portfolio includes the Defense Support Program and the next generation Space Based Infrared System, SBIRS High. These systems are critical for protection against global and theater ballistic missile attacks against the United States, its deployed forces, and its allies.

Colonel Larrimore entered the Air Force in 1986 through the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps at Princeton University. He has served in a variety of space operations, acquisition, command, and staff assignments. He is a Joint Specialty Officer and a member of the Department of Defense?s Acquisition Corps. Col Larrimore previously commanded a Space Operations Support Squadron, served as a Deputy Space Operations Group Commander and as an Air Force National Defense Fellow.
