Space System Battle Command, Control, & Communication

As battlefield scenarios rapidly evolve, maintaining information superiority is paramount. However, the traditional methods of Battle Management, Command, Control, and Communications (BMC3) struggle to keep pace with the demands of interconnected sensors, platforms, and warfighters.

The BMC3 App Factory program, developed by the Space Development Agency (SDA), offers an innovative solution to enable the rapid deployment of sophisticated BMC3 software to a vast network of orbiting satellites, forming the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA).
