Booz Allen Hamilton has strategically invested in an up and coming space technology company to aid its space manufacturing and domain awareness efforts.
The strategic funds offered to Quindar by Booz Allen’s venture capital organization will focus on programming and automating satellite operations through Booz Allen’s velocity, leadership and technology, or VoLT, business strategy, the McLean, Virginia-based company announced Thursday. The move aims to strengthen mission-critical space technology worldwide.
Chris Bogdan, executive vice president and space business head at Booz Allen, said, “This investment demonstrates Booz Allen’s commitment to shaping tomorrow’s capabilities and advancing our clients’ missions as a critical integrator and data solutions provider for the space domain.”
Quindar’s virtualized, cloud-scalable platform is designed to create near-autonomous command and control capabilities to aid space battle facilitation. Quindar’s CEO and co-founder, Nate Hamet, said he looks forward to working with Booz Allen to further AI-powered programs for space oversight.
“Our combined expertise and technology will pave the way to utilize our mission management platform, which is currently operating multiple customers and assets in space and support the United States in achieving near-autonomous command, control, and communication capabilities across hybrid fleets,” Hamet stated.
Quindar is the second space-oriented investment made by Booz Allen Ventures — a $100 million enterprise — since its establishment in 2022 and tenth overall.
