The Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture is managed by the Space Development Agency.
The Space Development Agency awarded Starfish Space a $52.5 million contract to perform end-of-life deorbiting for a satellite in the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture with options for additional deorbits.
Otter is tasked with performing an initial deorbit for one satellite in the SDA’s PWSA constellation and has options to perform additional deorbits.
Deorbiting satellites helps the Space Development Agency operate its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation for a longer period.
The contract with Starfish Space covers end-of-life satellite disposal services for satellites in the SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture constellation.
The Joint Explanatory Statement restores funding for the Space Development Agency’s Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.
The Space Development Agency (SDA) is establishing interoperability standards for Optical Communication Terminals (OCT) to treat laser links as critical infrastructure.
The Space Development Agency’s Transport Layer is a mesh network of low Earth orbit data relays intended to expand without production gaps.
SDA's OCT standard ensures hardware from different manufacturers, including Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin, can communicate in orbit.
The Fiscal Year 2026 Defense Appropriations Act prioritizes the Golden Dome missile defense architecture and reverses proposed cuts to the Space Development Agency’s proliferated constellations.
The SDA is launching Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 satellites as part of the PWSA deployment.
SDA's OCT standard is enabling a resilient mesh network in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) that can scale across multiple vendors and platforms.
The Space Force’s original Fiscal Year 2026 budget request eliminated funding for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 3 Transport Layer.
The SDA is designing the PWSA to evolve at the speed of the commercial market.
The PWSA is expected to achieve global persistence by 2027 as SDA continues Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 launches.
The final Joint Explanatory Statement adds $500 million to keep the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 3 Transport Layer on schedule.
The SDA has mandated that all satellites within the PWSA comply with its OCT standard.
The $500 million restoration of Tranche 3 funding aligns with Space Development Agency contract awards to Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Rocket Lab.
Mynaric supplied CONDOR Mk3 optical terminals for Rocket Lab’s $515 million Space Development Agency Transport Layer contract.
Northrop Grumman is rapidly delivering more satellites to the SDA to meet critical mission needs.
