Commercial Space Domain Awareness Firms Support Military Operations
The Space Force has selected six commercial space domain awareness companies to support military operations with both steady-state and surge capacity, as part of the service’s new Commercial Augmentation Space Reserve. The companies, including Anduril, Intrack, Slingshot, LeoLabs, EOS, and Northstar, will provide capabilities like satellite imagery and space domain awareness. The program aims to create a pool of trusted commercial partners that can be leveraged during peacetime and surged on demand. This development was first reported by an unknown source.
