Space Force Selects Astranis Satellite Tech for Military Comms Waveform Implementation - top government contractors - best government contracting event

Astranis Space Technology will help the U.S. Space Force deploy a military communications waveform with a commercial satellite payload under a potential $10.5 million Small Business Innovation Research Phase III award.

John Gedmark, co-founder and CEO of Astranis, wrote in a blog post published Wednesday the company will use its software-based radio technology to support the Department of Defense’s Protected Tactical Waveform implementation effort.

The government-developed PTW offers military users an anti-jam approach to secure sensitive data transmission.

Gedmark said the SBIR contract consists of a $4.5 million initial award and a $6 million option that would allow the communications satellite builder to demonstrate the integrated platform in orbit.
