US EditionBAE Systems selected to enhance ground system for Space Force missile warning satellites
- BAE Systems was selected on April 28, 2025, in Broomfield, Colo. To provide a new satellite command and control system for the U.S. Space Force's FORGE program.
- The selection follows BAE Systems’ established role in defense and intelligence ground systems and their work on Next-Gen OPIR infrared sensor payloads.
- The FORGE C2 system will integrate telemetry, tracking and command, orbital analysis, operational coordination, and support resource management into a unified platform.
- This consolidation will allow operators to use the same core applications to command missile warning satellites, simplifying operations and reducing costs per Don Speranzini.
- The system supports transitioning the SBIRS constellation onto FORGE C2 and aims to enhance future missile warning capabilities while strengthening U.S. And allied defense.
