SAIC, a prominent U.S. defense contractor, has secured its inaugural contract with the Pentagon to develop and deploy a satellite, in collaboration with GomSpace, a key move underlined by their partnership focused on small satellite innovation. The contract, stemming from the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Manufacturing Science and Technology Program, aims to showcase advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and "zero-trust" cybersecurity within space. This endeavor, set to be integrated at SAIC's Charleston facility, signifies a strategic expansion of SAIC's space capabilities and underscores the pivotal role of small satellites in defense. Alongside GomSpace, SAIC is also partnering with ThermAvant Technologies to engineer a power-efficient cubesat slated for a 2025 launch, promising enhanced computing power and reduced decision-making latency in orbit. This project aligns with the Pentagon's drive to bolster national security through cutting-edge computing and AI technologies. #saic #pentagon #space #defense #satellite #technology #gomspace #aerospace #artificialintelligence #nationalsecurity Source- https://lnkd.in/grrs5RWj

Startups Are Making Strides in the Ultimate Growth Industry: Space - Startup companies are breaching the final frontier with increasing regularity, as the Pentagon's space procurement branch again selected a smaller aerospace business to partner with legacy manufacturers in a $2.5 billion deal to build 54 new missile tracking and defense satellites. - Derek Tournear, director of the Space Development Agency, the Space Force's unit for deploying disruptive technology, said in a statement: "The marketplace is responding to the demand signals for our spiral development model. The agile response across the space industry is critically important as we deliver to the warfighter this no-fail mission capability of missile warning, missile tracking, and missile defense." - "The SDA views small businesses as critical contributors to the performance of research and development supporting national security through space and is soliciting small business participation in the advancement of the Proliferated Warfare Space Architecture," the agency said. https://lnkd.in/eS4Cnr6r

NI (National Instruments) has robust, modular solutions for testing and validating Satellite Communication Systems. Learn more about why this is critical to the #NewSpace industry in this article published in Military Embedded Systems https://lnkd.in/gwkdW9Sg

Insightful article from John Keller which features technology from 3D PLUS who use #COTS silicon (where possible) as the basis for delivering advanced high-density 3D microelectronic products that are capable of withstanding launch and #space flight environments. The article states that: "...The biggest part of today's radiation-hardened and radiation-tolerant applications involves so-called "New Space," or commercial applications for telephone service, #Internet access, and #streaming data for video and sophisticated #sensor applications. These services typically come from commercial satellite constellations composed of spacecraft typically expected to survive in space only for a short time, such as five years..." It also includes an interesting quote which outlines something analogous to a "Goldilocks strategy" for ensuring rad-hard tolerance of components: "...We need to meet the spec, but not overdo the spec," says Timothée Dargnies, chief executive officer of rad-hard supplier 3D PLUS in Buc, France. "We maintain the level of radiation that the customer needs, but we bring a lot more capability to help compete with pure COTS for space applications that last three to four years..." He goes on to say: "..."We are seeing bigger and bigger competition from the #COTS market, from New Space, to #commercial, to #military applications." Often the problem comes from a lack of available rad-tolerant parts on the market, which can force #spacecraft designers to use pure #COTS. "Because of #sensors and #processing, designers don't find pure rad-hard parts that fit their requirements, so they use commercial parts," Dargnies says. "It's getting harder and harder to compete with pure #COTS..." Food for thought and I believe worth the ten minutes of your life that it will take to read if you are involved in this sector of technology.

I interviewed DSEI Space Hub and UK Space Command for the latest issue of Global Defence Technology Magazine. The space domain is evolving fast, but to harness the possibilities of this disruptive sector the UK must continually understand it. Click below to find out how space defence is integrating more than ever before; the importance of international collaboration and where the UK finds itself in this regard; responding to the nefarious uses of space defence; and, of course, the innovative private sector solutions being showcased at DSEI 2023. #DSEI23 #space #defence #integration #collaboration #commercialsolutions https://lnkd.in/eXVCjHDt
