Colorado Springs, Colo.-based technology startup Bluestaq has received a potential three-year, $37.5M contract to further develop a cloud-based repository containing tracking data of space objects, C4ISRNET reported Wednesday.
Bluestaq will continue to work on the Unified Data Library to integrate information from the Department of Defense, intelligence community, foreign and commercial sources to support air, space and multidomain operations under the Phase III Small Business Innovation Research contract, which has a one-year base term and two option years.
UDL is a space situational awareness database and a joint initiative of the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Space Command and the Space and Missile Systems Center.
The startup performed research-and-development work on the data management platform through the initial phase of the SBIR contract awarded in 2018.
