Space superiority is no longer an abstract concept. Now that it’s widely understood that the once-benign domain is becoming one of the most contested environments of our generation, the modern space race is officially in high gear: Achieving space superiority is now one of the most urgent directives of the United States.
As U.S. power has grown, so has reliance on the in-orbit systems where the infrastructure underpinning critical systems like satellite-based navigation, observation, and communications (including those essential to national security). Now, these systems are a prime target for adversaries who are actively developing capabilities to disrupt, degrade, or destroy them and erode our strategic advantage.
Preserving that advantage—and the way of life it supports—now requires a fundamental shift: rapidly advancing the technologies, operational models, and mindset needed to operate and defend in a contested space domain.The team at True Anomaly, which is headed by U.S. Space Force and Air Force veterans, has been at the forefront of this movement since before they even started the company. Having spent the prior decade-plus developing the foundational doctrines and tactics for space engagement, co-founders’ Even Rogers and Kyle Zakrzewski launched True Anomaly in 2022 with both an unparalleled understanding of the problem and a cohesive strategy for how to solve it.
That combination enabled them to move faster and more deliberately than others: Since launching, True Anomaly built and launched Jackal — an autonomous orbital vehicle for monitoring threats across any environment which is powered by Mosaic, its AI-driven, full-stack mission software. The company has flown two test flights, is gearing up for a third, and will be one of two participants in the Space Force’s Victus Haze demonstration. As an endorsement of True Anomalys ability to reliably execute on mission-critical commercial projects, the company was recently selected as a prime contractor for two of the U.S. Space Force’s critical programs: The to support the $1.8B Geosynchronous Reconnaissance Constellation (RG-XX), and , extending its platform from observation and coordination into active mission execution in one of the most consequential areas of national security.
