Operators at the tactical edge need situational awareness, full spectrum cyber access and RF effects, and an accredited security posture on unified compute they can carry into forward areas. These capabilities have historically lived on separate stacks, with separate accreditation paths. On Menace, they now run together.

Together, these integrated solutions enhance Menace’s foundation for mission software, cyber operations, and secure communications. Teams can rapidly deploy, operate, and secure their mission systems globally without the need to integrate multiple disparate products.

Booz Allen and Anduril have collaborated for six years, including the fielding of Booz Allen’s EdgeXtend, built on Anduril’s Voyager edge hardware systems. The partnership and integrations announced today extend that work into C2, cyber and RF effects, and zero trust – capability areas where the DoW has signaled clear demand and where peer and near-peer competitors are increasingly contesting U.S. forces.

Portal Space Systems is developing a new class of maneuverable spacecraft, including Starburst—its orbital maneuvering vehicle designed to provide rapid, responsive operations within a destination orbit—and Supernova—its transorbital spacecraft built for movement across orbital regimes. Together, these systems enable spacecraft to reposition, persist, and respond dynamically in orbit, which is key to the future of orbital warfare in the space domain. Such capabilities are essential as space becomes more congested and contested, and the ability to respond at speed is critical to evolving mission needs.

Both vehicles are designed as multi-role platforms capable of supporting a range of payloads and missions. Supernova is built around Portal’s proprietary solar thermal propulsion system, enabling high-energy maneuvering and the range required to operate across orbital regimes.

Space superiority is underpinned by the ability to maneuver in orbit. In order to achieve this advantage, the U.S. must maintain our ability to outmaneuver our adversaries. Portal’s spacecrafts do just that—providing the relevant U.S. agencies the ability to maneuver without regret at speed and scale to achieve the nation’s space superiority goals.

“Space is a critical domain for national and economic security, and maintaining advantage demands speed, agility, and resilience,” said Eric Hoffman, senior vice president of space solutions at Booz Allen. “Portal’s ability to enable rapid, dynamic maneuvering in orbit allows operators to reposition and respond in real time and addresses a critical need our customers face in an increasingly contested environment.”

By pairing Portal Space Systems’ rapidly maneuverable satellite platforms with Booz Allen’s strengths in mission integration, data, and cybersecurity, the investment enables more responsive and adaptive space operations, supporting emerging requirements for dynamic tasking, persistence, and control in increasingly contested orbital environments.

“Space is no longer a static domain, and our customers are operating in environments where speed and range directly determine mission outcomes,” said Jeff Thornburg, CEO of Portal Space Systems. “Booz Allen brings a deep understanding of those operational realities, and their investment reflects a shared belief that maneuverability is essential to maintaining advantage in orbit. Together, we are focused on delivering that capability at the speed and scale required by the mission.”
