U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC) is advancing dynamic satellite operations through the Joint Antenna Marketplace program, which provides adaptive scheduling of satellite contacts and data transport workloads.
SSC has selected Boecore, d/b/a Auria, and Sphinx Defense, to each develop and deploy a secure, cloud-based Joint Antenna Marketplace (JAM) prototype connecting satellite operations centers to commercial and government-owned antennas in support of U.S. and allied lethal fighting forces that contribute to ensuring the Nation’s security in, from, and to space.
Boecore, d/b/a Auria, was awarded a $8.1 million contract and Sphinx Defense was awarded a $9.5 million contract to each develop a JAM prototype which will demonstrate the core, cloud-based capabilities to support an enterprise commercial solution with an emphasis on scalability. This represents a pivotal collaboration between government and commercial industry, aimed at enhancing scheduling flexibility, improving system resiliency, and ensuring robust support for current and future space operations at speed and scale.
