The company is building 18 of these satellites under a $955 million order from the Space Development Agency

The US has introduced Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensors (HBTSS) to counter the threat of HGVs and Hypersonic Cruise Missiles.

Gen. Michael Guetlein said DOW raised Golden Dome’s cost estimate to advance the development of AMTI, HBTSS and other space capabilities.

Palantir与L3Harris于2024年10月宣布深化战略合作，旨在加速其AI及数据集成软件在美国国防项目中的应用。此次合作远超单一合同范畴，构筑了多维度联盟，显著巩固了Palantir在多个高优先级国防领域的地位。 在美军TITAN项目中，双方正联合开发10个地面站原型，以实现高空及太空传感器数据的实时接入与分析，将即时情报与目标定位能力带入现代化战场。同时，L3Harris自身也在积极采纳Palantir的AIP平台，以提升运营效率、供应链可见性及决策水平，标志着企业级数字化转型的加速。 此外，双方在先进技术研发上亦有布局，聚焦于将计算能力推向“边缘”，包括将无线电转化为传感器以及在卫星上进行轨道处理。在“金顶”（Golden Dome）项目及高超音速防御领域，L3Harris的HBTSS卫星项目与Palantir的平台结合，有望提升对高超音速武器的探测与追踪能力，为21世纪的国防需求提供关键支持。 相较于传统以硬件为主导的国防承包商，Palantir凭借其软件驱动的解决方案，通过与L3Harris这类关键硬件及系统供应商的深度融合，正成为国防领域不可或缺的软件合作伙伴。这种模式不仅强化了其在国防项目中的影响力，也验证了其软件优先策略的有效性，为投资者提供了其长期增长价值的清晰信号。 查看消息来源

Missile Defense Agency is building Discriminating Space Sensor to place its prototype on orbit by 2029. The DSS will track ballistic missiles, and be operated by the Space Force. The DSS, along with the agency's Hypersonic Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) satellites are expected to play a critical role for Trump's comprehensive missile defense initiative 'Golden Dome.'
