The U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command (SSC) recently awarded contracts to four companies, including BAE Systems’ Space & Mission Systems business, as part of the U.S. Space Force SSC Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution Command and Control (FORGE C2) project. This initiative, aimed at modernizing ground systems for spacecraft control, is a critical step in advancing missile-warning capabilities for existing and future geostationary and polar orbit satellites.

As a member of the BAE Systems team, OpenC3 brings its extensive expertise to the FORGE C2 project. Leveraging a cyber-secure modular open systems approach, the FORGE C2 prototype aims to establish a government-owned foundation for advanced missile-warning satellite command and control, encompassing mission management, ground control, telemetry, tracking, and commanding functionalities.

"Our collaboration with BAE Systems on the SSC FORGE C2 project aligns seamlessly with OpenC3's commitment to delivering cutting-edge, verified, and customizable solutions for satellite command and control. This marks a significant milestone as we collectively shape the future of resilient ground systems," stated Ryan Melton, CEO at OpenC3.
