Scout Space is thrilled to have won our THIRD TACFI award! ?? With this TACFI, we’re developing a full-stack hardware-in-the-loop ModSim testbed to mature our flight software and GEO sensor. This will validate our tracking, collision avoidance, and autonomous control capabilities - critical for ensuring safety and dominance in contested space environments. At the core of this effort is the Scout Owl payload, seamlessly integrated with our Scout Point and Odyn platforms. This cutting-edge technology enhances offensive precision, defensive resilience, and proactive threat mitigation, enabling rapid deployment and superior operational control. This TACFI win is a testament to our team’s dedication and innovation! ?? #ScoutSpace #SpaceWERX #TACFI #SpaceSafety #SDA #SpaceVentures

??? Scout Space is excited to attend the Space Foundation 40th Space Symposium!??
