The U.S. Space Force<\/b> has awarded Slingshot Aerospace<\/b> a $27 million contract to integrate its Talos AI agent into Space Force scenario training. <\/p>\n
Slingshot Aerospace debuted Talos in July last year. Its name Talos stands for Talos Thinking Agent for Logical Operations and Strategy and it is designed to imitate satellite behavior for training and simulation, to replicate tactics like space warfare maneuvers and dogfighting strategies. The U.S. Space Force\u2019s Space Training and Readiness Command (STARCOM) recently tested Talos for training purposes and to plan for deeper AI integration into future exercises.<\/p>\n
This is an 18-month contract awarded through a Commercial Solutions Opening. It builds on earlier SpaceWERX and Space Force investments in 2022 under a $25 million STRATFI contract award. Under the contract, Slingshot will advance the Space Force\u2019s Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) program toward integrating existing training capabilities with AI-native technology to represent the threat landscape. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis award marks a turning point in how the Space Force prepares for conflict in orbit,\u201d Tim Solms, Slingshot Aerospace CEO, said. \u201cTalos allows the Space Force Guardians the ability to train against adaptive, AI-driven threats that behave like real adversaries \u2014 not pre-programmed scenarios. This is the dawn of AI-native space training, where human and machine intelligence work together to give mission leaders a decisive operational edge.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
