Overview

Problem In future conflicts, dominance will be determined by control of the battlespace above national borders—including air and orbital domains. A nation that cannot secure and command the space above its territory surrenders a critical element of its sovereignty and strategic defense. It no longer controls it's fate.

Solution We are building the ability to project force at vast distances instantaneously using high-energy lasers in space.

Field Validation Pre-Field

Technology Maturity (TRL) We are currently at TRL 5. We have fully built a flatsat in the lab. Tested in various simulated environments.

Strategic Advantage This is hard to copy for a few reasons. We have IP and are quickly growing our portfolio. We also have unique

Go-to-Market Access SBIRs, sponsored for a STRATFI, and we have commercial contracts already.

Dual-Use Potential Yes. Our commercial focuses are remote power, space situational awareness, and communications in orbit.

Team Karl Stedman - I build things. Self-taught. Been through hell to get here. Stuart Volkow - DOD Analyst turned CubeSat and high-altitude balloon project manager. John Stanford - Was the CTO of Ubiquiti Networks from 100k to over a 1B in sales and through the IPO.

Competitive Landscape Officially, no one. Unofficially - I expect competition from Anduril, Raytheon, and a couple of startups.

Primary User Space Force - Delta 9, Delta 3 Golden Dome operators. TBD

User-Critical Problem U.S. satellites are highly exposed in today’s contested space environment. While our forces depend on space-based assets for communications, navigation, targeting, and ISR, most satellites were not built for wartime conditions. They are predictable, undefended, and easy targets.
