Booz Allen advances orbital warfare for space domain

Booz Allen (BAH) Hamilton announced that its corporate venture capital arm, Booz Allen Ventures, has invested in Portal Space Systems, a U.S.-based space technology company developing rapidly maneuverable spacecraft for next-generation orbital operations. Portal Space Systems is developing a new class of maneuverable spacecraft, including Starburst-its orbital maneuvering vehicle designed to provide rapid, responsive operations within a destination orbit-and Supernova-its transorbital spacecraft built for movement across orbital regimes. Together, these systems enable spacecraft to reposition, persist, and respond dynamically in orbit, which is key to the future of orbital warfare in the space domain. Such capabilities are essential as space becomes more congested and contested, and the ability to respond at speed is critical to evolving mission needs.
