      SSL announced it is developing advanced space architectures and systems to assist the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center with exploring new enterprise-level solutions to enable resilient space defense capabilities. The study is expected to accelerate crucial technologies for future missions as identified within the U.S. Air Force Space Enterprise Vision (SEV).

      The SEV recognizes the increasing threat to space systems and provides an overarching vision for how the U.S. Air Force should respond. In addition to enabling a more affordable and resilient national security space enterprise, the SEV shapes future space architectures intended to protect and defend the United States’ space capabilities against emerging threats.

      SSL brings expertise in the development of resilient space solutions to the study, including technologies for space infrastructure, affordable access to space, commercial data processing, and small satellites.
