12th December 2024 --
Boulder, Colorado -- Saber Astronautics announced today the release of a “one-click” deployment capability for its Space Cockpit™ Battle Management System (SBMS). Already used by thousands of operators and integrated into classified U.S. Space Force networks, SBMS can now deploy to forward operating bases with minimal effort through Saber’s new SBMS Vanguard.
This advancement was made possible through a partnership with Defense Unicorns and their innovative Unicorn Delivery Service (UDS), which enables rapid deployments onto air-gapped or classified networks often used in forward bases. The first planned deployment of Space Cockpit Vanguard will be to support the NATO exercise, Global Sentinel, in April-May 2025. Global Sentinel is the only multinational event of its kind dedicated to fostering collaboration and addressing space security challenges.
Nathan Parrott, Director of Saber Astronautics USA, highlights the benefits of Vanguard, stating, "A Space Battle Management System must be made available to our space warfighters without a dependence on commercial internet. Vanguard solves this problem by bringing the entire Space Cockpit Battle Management System to operators in their Tactical Operations Centers. Whether on a Ship for the Navy or at a forward operating base for the army."
"I've worked directly with Space Cockpit and the Saber Astro team for many years", says Rob Slaughter, CEO of Defense Unicorns. "Space Cockpit is changing the way we perform space operations as a country and for our allies. Space is a warfighting domain, and Space Cockpit is helping to arm mission operators for modern warfare. UDS is purpose-built to streamline this process so secure missions can finally get access to modern software on demand."
Dr Jason Held, CEO of Saber Astronautics, underscores the importance of Space Cockpit Vanguard from a commercial standpoint, "It is now quick and easy for Governments of AUKUS and FiveEyes countries to gain a first-rate Space Domain Awareness Battle Management System, with as little as one click of a button."
Key Benefits of One-Click Deployment for SpaceCockpit:
- Rapid Deployment: Space Cockpit Vanguard can deploy on any server with a single button click. Providing warfighters with a Space Battle Management system on infrastructure they control and within their Airgapped networks.
- First Rate Security: Automated security checks and compliance with Platform One's Authority to Operate ensuring the highest cyber resilience standards.
- Ideal for Training and Exercises: The rapid setup and teardown of Space Cockpit Vanguard make it a perfect fit for training scenarios and events. You can easily pre-load scenarios and simulations. Afterward, simply teardown the deployment to ensure all sensitive information is securely cleaned.
