"Space Force partners with 18 vendors for data analytics and software services"
The Space Systems Command has selected 18 vendors to provide data analytics and software services to help decision makers analyze information about the space domain. These vendors will compete for $900 million worth of task orders under an IDIQ contract over the next five years. The IDIQ contract is in support of the Space C2 program that the U.S. Air Force started in 2018 to integrate and analyze space domain awareness data from multiple sources for more accurate and faster monitoring of outer space. The vendors will work with the Warp Core platform, a data-as-a-service platform developed by Palantir, to provide capabilities that require the aggregation of massive amounts of data from disparate sources and systems.
