BAE Systems selected by Space Force for satellite C2 system

BAE Systems (BAESY) has been selected by U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to provide a new satellite command and control system for its Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution program. FORGE C2 will provide the Space Force with a command-and-control system for several of its Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared missile warning satellites. In addition, the on-orbit Space Based Infrared System constellation will be transitioned onto the FORGE C2 system. Under FORGE C2, the Space Force will utilize BAE Systems’ software solution to consolidate telemetry, tracking and command, flight dynamics, mission management, and ground resource management applications onto a single framework. This will allow satellite operators to command and control the Space Force’s missile warning satellites with the same core applications, which will simplify operations, reduce operations and maintenance costs, minimize training, and provide extensibility to future missile warning systems.
