Defense Innovation Unit Bets on Commercial-Speed Production
The US military has selected York Space subsidiary ALL.SPACE to produce satellite communications terminals under the 10ⁿ program, a Pentagon initiative aimed at accelerating defense SATCOM manufacturing. The contract, awarded through an Other Transaction Authority agreement, tasks ALL.SPACE with producing hundreds of units per month, potentially thousands per year, of its Hydra terminal, which is certified on the Wideband Global SATCOM constellation and SES’s O3b mPOWER medium Earth orbit network. The production will take place in Alabama, with the goal of meeting the Pentagon’s growing demand for satellite communications terminals. This development was first reported by Unknown Source.
