Scout was chosen by DARPA based on its proposal focused on "Advancing Autonomous In-Space Threat Response for Space Superiority."
The BRIDGES Consortium seeks to reduce the timelines that may restrict the Department of Defense's (DoD) capacity to quickly acquire and deploy innovative technology. As part of the consortium, Scout will receive sponsorship for a facility clearance, enabling access to classified work areas and networks. Additionally, Scout will attend quarterly, in-person meetings to engage with government personnel at classified levels.
"Resilient flight software is imperative to maintaining space superiority and a competitive advantage over adversaries, ensuring seamless operations and bolstering strategic capabilities," said Philip Hover-Smoot, CEO of Scout Space.
"We are excited to support the development of novel technologies for the Department of Defense and look forward to being a strategic partner for the U.S. Government. Scout is committed to navigating the intricacies of space superiority while overcoming the technological challenges that define this critical frontier. We aim to provide solutions that lay the foundation for future advancements, ensuring a resilient and adaptive framework for maintaining dominance in the space domain."
Scout remains dedicated to advancing U.S. space superiority by tackling technological challenges. The company leads in the development of satellite self-protection, addressing issues such as in-situ threat assessment and mitigation, space debris management, and the incorporation of advanced defensive measures.
