Who is True AnomalyTrue Anomaly is revolutionizing space security and sustainability with fully-integrated mission technologies designed to protect the interests of the United States and its Allies. We operate at the intersection of autonomous vehicles and big data to deliver unmatched capabilities on-orbit for decision advantage here on earth.
Orbital PursuitJackal is an Autonomous Orbital Pursuit Vehicle designed for counterspace and ISR missions in LEO, GEO, and other orbits.Command and control are conducted through intelligent human-machine teaming, where AI Pilots help human operators plan complex no-fail missions and execute them with multiple spacecraft. Jackal operates safely at close ranges to collect multi-spectral imagery, full-motion video, and metric observation data of any resident space object in any orbit. Processing can be done at the edge, transport layer, or cloud using our next-generation Mission Control System.
FORMER US AIR Force major Even “Jolly” Rogers is worried about a space war. “Conflict exists on a continuum that begins with competition and ultimately leads into full-scale conflict like what you’re seeing in Ukraine,” he says. The US, he adds, is already “in active competition with Russia and China for freedom of action and dominance of the space domain. And it’s evolving very quickly.”So on January 26 last year, the former US Air Force major incorporated True Anomaly, Inc to “solve the most challenging orbital warfare problems for the US Space Force,” he later tweeted.According to a recent filing with the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC), True Anomaly is now gearing up for its first orbital mission. In October, True Anomaly hopes to launch two Jackal “orbital pursuit” spacecraft aboard a SpaceX rocket to low earth orbit. The Jackals will not house guns, warheads, or laser blasters, but they will be capable of rendezvous proximity operations (RPO)—the ability to maneuver close to other satellites and train a battery of sensors upon them. This could reveal their rivals’ surveillance and weapons systems, or help intercept communications.
The company did not disclose the exact number of workers impacted by the layoffs. According to social media posts, 30 employees lost their jobs April 24. After announcing a $100 million fundraising round in December, True Anomaly said it had more than 100 employees.
CENTENNIAL, Colo., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- True Anomaly, Inc., the technology company developing advanced hardware and software systems to ensure the sustainable security of space, today announced it has been awarded a $1.6M Direct-to-Phase II contract by SpaceWERX focused on Tactically Responsive Space ("TacRS"). Under this contract, the company will be tasked to address the most pressing challenges in the Department of the Air Force ("DAF"). These efforts aim to expand the capabilities of the company's Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle ("AOV") to meet the demanding requirements of the TacRS mission set.True Anomaly will focus on three main deliverables under this contract: rapid payload integration, the demonstration of increased capability in the Jackal AOV responsive propulsion system, and advancement of the baseline technologies for geosynchronous orbit. The company will aid the Air Force Research Laboratory and SpaceWERX in meeting its goals of increasing mission flexibility and a swift adaptation to evolving operational needs, and continue enhancing the system's performance envelope for the upcoming VICTUS HAZE mission and beyond."The ideal vehicle for a Tactically Responsive Space mission provides flexibility and a high degree of maneuverability to support operations across multiple orbits and inclinations," said Even Rogers, CEO and co-founder of True Anomaly. "True Anomaly's Jackal Autonomous Orbital Vehicle was designed for this exact purpose. Under this contract, our team will continue to accelerate and enhance the Jackal AOV's capabilities so that the DoD is equipped with technology that will rapidly respond to the domain's changing threat landscape."This news follows True Anomaly's recent announcement that it was selected for a $30M U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command contract for the VICTUS HAZE TacRS mission. Additionally, the company is supporting Gravitics as subcontractor on its $1.7M SBIR Direct-to-Phase II contract from SpaceWERX.
