DARPA has chosen 11 teams for Phase 1 of the Space-Based Adaptive Communications Node program (Space-BACN) project that aims to create optical intersatellite communications terminal to connect satellite networks. Space-BACN aims to create a low-cost, reconfigurable optical communications terminal that adapts to most optical intersatellite link standards, translating between diverse satellite constellations
Northrop Grumman is expanding its solid rocket motor manufacturing facilities with the groundbreaking of new facilities to support nearly every phase of solid rocket motor manufacturing, including case manufacturing, propellant mixing and casting, and final assembly. The infrastructure investment and expansion of solid rocket motor manufacturing will more than triple the companys capacity to deliver its 63-inch-diameter Graphite Epoxy Motor (GEM 63) solid rocket booster and the extended length variation (GEM 63XL), which will be critical to support the new contract award received from United Launch Alliance (ULA) in June
The DARPA awarded Raytheon BBN an 18-month contract to investigate new methods and design practices to support effective human-machine teaming as part of the Enhancing Design for Graceful Extensibility program. BBN will work to develop human machine interfaces that enable non-expert operators to understand critical system processes; system performance thresholds based on environmental, physical, and software constraints; and the operating context and mission goals
