Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is having an influence on military logistics, and helps supply personnel get replacement parts where and when they’re needed — even on the front lines.

The wave of commercially developed communications and remote-sensing satellites seeks to balance costs, capability, size, weight, and power consumption in the latest new space designs.

Programs like the National Security Agency’s Commercial Solutions for Classified could be a path to transmit classified information without specialized hardware.

Contested space, where nations compete for military dominance outside Earth’s atmosphere, is driving many military space platforms, but commercial space and small satellites continue to change the way the military suppliers of space electronics approach radiation-hardened component design from testing to deployment.

Awareness is mounting regarding the importance of protecting data-at-rest (DAR) on deployed military platforms.

Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components are being embraced so the technology can be serviced at the base instead of waiting for specialized parts or sending the system back state-side.

PacStar Enterprise CSfC Solutions (ECS), is a suite of enterprise gateway services designed for classified networks using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products.

PacStar ECS is a family of gateway solutions that scale from small installations with less than 100 secure connections to large enterprise-class services supporting thousands of concurrent users.
