“Aboard the YAM-3 for tomorrow’s planned lift-off will be the Prototype on Orbit Experimental Test Bed (POET), a foundational software to enable battle management/custody of the Space Develop Agency’s (SDA) planned National Defense Space Architecture satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The POET demo is building on DARPA’s Pit Boss battle management, command, control and communications (BMC3) system for its Blackjack satellites. It uses the the Sagittarius-A* Innoflight data fusion processor and software for edge computing on orbit developed by Scientific Systems Co. Inc (SSCI). In this case, Loft’s customer is SSCI; SDA is contracting with SSCI.”
