As part of its involvement in SPACENET, Scout will work closely with NATO stakeholders and other program participants to identify and address emerging threats in space. The company’s proven track record in delivering responsive and reliable space situational awareness will be instrumental in the program's efforts to ensure the security and resilience of critical space assets.
"Our advanced technologies, including our vLEO SDA sensors and in-orbit observation platforms, are well-suited to support NATO’s mission to safeguard space infrastructure and maintain the stability of the space environment," added Hover-Smoot. "Through SPACENET, we will help bridge the gap between commercial innovation and defense requirements, creating a more secure and resilient space domain for all."
NATO's SPACENET program is part of the alliance's broader strategy to engage with the private sector, leveraging commercial innovation to address the growing challenges in space. By facilitating collaboration between military and commercial space entities, SPACENET aims to enhance collective defense and deterrence in the space domain.
