Under the terms of the deal \u2014 known as an Emergent Need Small Business Innovation Research award \u2014 the firm will match the government investment, providing another $30 million to pay for risk-reduction activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe goal of Victus Haze is to apply state-of-the-art, commercial products to provide highly capable solutions for future TacRS operations,\u201d True Anomaly said in an April 11 press release. \u201cThe multi-vehicle demonstration will enable the development of TacRS tactics, techniques, and procedures, and prepare the Space Force and U.S. Space Command to deploy available response options necessary to deter adversary aggression on orbit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rocket Lab\u2019s contract, which came through the Defense Innovation Unit, is worth $32 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victus Haze is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2024\/02\/08\/space-forces-victus-haze-demo-to-focus-on-rapid-threat-response\/\" target=\"_blank\">the service\u2019s third responsive space mission<\/a>. Its latest demonstration, Victus Nox, occurred last September when Firefly Aerospace\u2019s Alpha rocket launched a Millennium Space Systems satellite<a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/09\/15\/us-space-force-launches-victus-nox-responsive-space-mission\/\" target=\"_blank\"> within just 27 hours of receiving initial launch orders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of that effort, Millennium, a Boeing subsidiary, delivered its spacecraft in a matter of months \u2014 a process that can take years on traditional acquisition timelines. Once in orbit, the satellite was operational within 37 hours and completed its activation phase in 58 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Victus Haze is focused on threat response and requires satellites that can maneuver from real-time hazards. The mission will pursue similar delivery and operations timelines as Victus Nox, but its goal is to push the Space Force to an operational responsive space capability by 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service hasn\u2019t released a detailed timeline for Victus Haze, but True Anomaly said the satellite providers are targeting delivery in the fall of 2025. Once they hand off the satellites, they\u2019ll be on standby until the Space Force makes its launch request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The True Anomaly spacecraft will lift off either from Cape Canaveral Space Force Base in Florida or Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Rocket Lab\u2019s vehicle will lift off either from Mahia, New Zealand, where the company has a launch pad, or Wallops Island in Virginia. The company will launch its satellite on its Electron rocket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True Anomaly CEO Even Rogers told C4ISRNET the company\u2019s arrangement with the Space Force \u2014 through which it funds risk-reduction and the service buys the resulting product \u2014 is similar to a Strategic Funding Increase award, which the Defense Department uses to help start-up companies bridge the gap between development and production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re funding the risk-reduction, they\u2019re basically buying the capability,\u201d he said in an April 9 interview at Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colo. \u201cIt\u2019s exactly how it should work. And then we\u2019re looking beyond this demonstration for Victus Haze to eventually a productionized capability that the Space Force will need in an enduring sense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company\u2019s Jackal spacecraft \u2014 designed to maneuver around and approach other objects in space \u2014 flew for the first time in early March, but the mission was cut short when the company could no longer maintain contact with the satellite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rogers said his team is still validating what it thinks was the cause of the issue. In parallel, the company is working aggressively to implement fixes before its next two flights, which are set to occur in the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those launches will help with risk-reduction for Victus Haze, which will fly a variant of Jackal that features a new propulsion system designed to provide more thrust for dynamic maneuvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThere are some fundamental changes and so that\u2019s what we will be doing risk reduction on in the coming flights,\u201d he said. \u201cAs we get more comfortable with the avionics and other capabilities of Jackal, then we focus on emergent risks like propulsion.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Victus Haze responsive space mission
