Auria announced on June 6 the $8.1M award of the Joint Antenna Marketplace (JAM) prototype by U.S. Space Force (USSF) Space Systems Command (SSC). Auria is one of two companies that will develop and deploy a secure, cloud-based application to provide dynamic satellite operations, enabling faster, more adaptive, and mission-responsive satellite contact management in support of the USSF’s growing mission demand.
The JAM prototype was awarded through a Space Enterprise Consortium (SpEC) Other Transaction Authority (OTA) and seeks to establish a flexible global framework that integrates satellite ground entry points with cloud data centers for real-time satellite command and control. At its core, Auria’s solution streamlines contact scheduling, significantly enhancing Space Control Network (SCN) capabilities to enable satellite contacts within seconds and dynamic replanning as mission priorities shift. The prototype integrates mission-proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products deployed on a secure cloud infrastructure with enforced Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to optimize coordination between Satellite Operations Centers (SOCs) and Antenna Providers (APs). This approach enables adaptive resource allocation, simplified operational workflows, and scaling to meet future demands without the need for architectural rework.
“We are very excited to showcase our mature resource management products and agile development capabilities to deliver an outstanding prototype for JAM to the U.S. Space Force,” said Auria CEO Damian DiPippa.
“We are honored to have been selected by the U.S. Space Force for this transformative initiative,” said Karina Arushanyan, executive vice president at Auria. “This award underscores our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that address the Space Force’s pressing challenges, including the need to enhance the capacity of satellite operations to support the growing number of missions. Our team is grateful to Space Systems Command for their trust, and we are excited to demonstrate how our adaptive scheduling and secure, scalable technologies can meet the evolving demands of satellite operations.”
