Slingshot Aerospace Awarded $6M Contract by AF SMC for Next-Gen Space Situational Awareness and Enterprise Space Battle Management

Slingshot Aerospace, Inc., an advanced analytics company, announced a $6 million contract award with the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center (SMC) to rapidly prototype and deploy machine learning capabilities to augment a wide variety of Enterprise Space Battle Management mission needs. Slingshot’s innovative multi-domain toolset, known as Orbital Atlas™, will enable warfighters to pivot from traditional Space Situational Awareness focusing on space catalog maintenance toward a more tactical, predictive, and evidence-driven solution.

SMC’s Space Superiority Systems Directorate exercised the 2019 contract option and expanded the value over a two-year period of performance.

SMC is eager to tap into the innovations of artificial intelligence and cloud computing, and is employing a variety of contracting methods to leverage commercial automation capabilities to augment conventional space mission areas. The accelerated timeframe in which this contract was awarded validates the applicability of Slingshot’s commercial versioning of Orbital Atlas™, demonstrating benefits for industry and government organizations.
