Companies mentioned

BAE Systems has been appointed by the U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to deliver a satellite command and control (C2) system as part of the Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) program. This system will integrate capabilities for the Next-Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next-Gen OPIR) missile warning satellites and transition the existing Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) to the FORGE C2 framework.

With the FORGE C2 implementation, the Space Force will utilize BAE's software to unify telemetry, tracking and command, flight dynamics, mission management, and ground resource management applications into one system. This integration is expected to streamline operations, minimize operational and maintenance costs, reduce training requirements, and facilitate future missile warning systems.

Don Speranzini, vice president and general manager of Ground Systems & Services for BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems, stated, “FORGE C2 represents an innovative new approach to advancing command and control capabilities for the Space Force. Our team has worked as a mission partner with the Space Force to develop a system that effectively monitors threats and helps strengthen the defense of the U.S. and our allied nations. We're proud to contribute to this critical mission.”

The FORGE C2 program builds on BAE Systems' experience in developing ground systems for defense and intelligence sectors. The company also previously aided in the development of infrared sensor payloads for the Next-Gen OPIR constellation, leveraging its expertise to contribute to the FORGE C2 initiative.
