Accelerating air superiority in order to achieve air dominance requires open systems architecture, cross-domain connectivity and autonomous operations that are all optimized for size, weight and power. This week, we showcased our solutions at the cpm – Defence Network #FCAS Summit 2023 in Berlin, demonstrating exactly how we are delivering empowering technologies to enable these features on next generation fighter platforms. #RedefiningAerospace

How widespread is adoption of the SpaceVPX standard? We've put together a new page about this emerging standard, giving basic information about it's contents and application. https://lnkd.in/eJzWp4YH It includes hardware products that the suppliers have stated can comply with the standard, including; Ibeos Novo Space Space Core BAE Systems Moog Inc. / Moog Space and Defense Group Alpha Data Parallel Systems Trident Systems Are you using this standard in your mission or hardware design? Or perhaps you also offer SpaceVPX compliant systems and would like to be included? Let us know in the comments! :)

SDA is seeking questions, white papers, and subsequent invited proposals through a new broad agency announcement for battle management apps for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (#PWSA). These BMC3 applications (#BMC3App) will add capability both within the PWSA tranches and as updates between tranches. SDA specifically seeks applications and services to support new and existing concepts of operation (CONOPS), knowledge gaps, system designs, key technologies, and/or risk reduction prototypes that enhance mission capability for defined tranches of PWSA capability layers, provide new capabilities addressing emerging or evolving warfighters needs, and provide enhanced Link-16 capability from space vehicles. Questions will be answered upon receipt. White papers are strongly encouraged and due by June 14, 2024. The BAA remains open through May 19, 2025.

There is a shared question that warfighters and those who support them alike face – how can we provide a significant operational advantage over our adversaries while reducing operational risk? We believe we have found that answer – Open Architecture (OA) in Mission Capability Assessment and Wargaming Exercises. Through our Advanced Engineering Core Capability, we aim to support our warfighters in providing an advantage against peer-on-peer adversaries. The following Point-of-View Paper provides the Precise Systems’ perspective on the future of #OpenArchitecture and how it directly correlates to mission success. 📘 If you’re interested in learning how to aid in delivering the highest capability to our warfighters, take a moment to read: https://ow.ly/9Yh950R2qbp Want to hear more?

“The U.S. Space Force on Wednesday released its first strategy for acquiring commercial space capabilities, which include four criteria to guide its decision-making in this area and, as expected, the document does not outline funding plans. The decision-making criteria outlined in The U.S. Space Force Commercial Space Strategy: Accelerating the Purposeful Pursuit of Hybrid Space Architectures include whether a product or service provides operational utility or meet a requirement; is the product or service feasible in terms of cost and value; do they contribute to resilience; and can they be fielded quickly enough to bolster operations or counter a threat”.

Recently, the Pentagon's Defense Science Board released a report on Commercial Space System Access and Integrity urging the integration of commercial space technology for military use 🛰 This is a significant step in leveraging innovations and advancements driven by the private sector to enhance our national security capabilities. Together, we can achieve a more resilient and responsive defense infrastructure by harnessing cutting-edge satellite technology, Earth observation systems, and advanced communication networks developed by commercial space companies. These technologies can be used for real-time battlefield surveillance, secure communication, reliable navigation in GPS-denied environments, and more. Collaboration between #DoD and the commercial space industry enhances defense capabilities and drives innovation and growth within the space sector 💫 Share your thoughts on the integration of commercial space technology in military applications in the comments below 👇 #defenseinnovation #spaceindustry

I think it goes without saying at this point that I’m a big fan of SmallSpark Space Systems’ Mission Management Suite (MMS). Do check out the link in the post below for a free-trial! #space #mission #operations #conops #design #newspace #software #cloud #freetrial #satellite
