The United States Space Force 's 5th Electromagnetic Warfare Squadron (5 EWS ) is a space electromagnetic warfare unit located at Peterson Space Force Base , Colorado .
Mission [ edit ]
The mission of the 5 EWS is to provide flexible and responsive space control capabilities to the Commander U.S. Space Command in order to protect and defend national security space capabilities.
History [ edit ]
The dual LASS/DSTS operation supported USAF space intelligence requirements, while being assisted by the 18th Intelligence Squadron 's Det 4 for SIGINT support.[1] Misawa AB , Japan , Osan AB , Republic of Korea and at Griffiss AFB in the United States .[2]
The Deep Space Tracking System uses sensitive, highly accurate 20-foot dish antennas to detect and track S-band radio signals transmitted by radio beacons on most satellites. There were DSTS receivers located at Griffiss AFB , New York ; RAF Feltwell , Great Britain ; and Misawa AB , Japan .[3]
The 5 SSS was inactivated in 2003, with administration of RAF Feltwell transferred to Detachment 4, 18th Intelligence Squadron .
