US Firm Adapts to Growing Demand for Sovereign Military Space Capabilities
LeoLabs, a space tracking firm, is shifting its marketing strategy to offer its new mobile space radar, Scout-S, directly to governments. The move is in response to increased demand from US allies for sovereign military space capabilities. The Scout-S system, which debuted in June, can detect and track multiple space objects in low Earth orbit. LeoLabs intends to produce the system in the single digits next year, with plans to scale up to dozens per year. The company’s new strategy is already paying off, with talks underway with over a dozen allied countries. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
