The Colorado Springs defense market
The center of gravity for military space operations, C2, and missile warning — with rapid growth in commercial space integration.

Space command-and-control work in Colorado Springs increasingly favors vendors who can demonstrate integration with commercial constellations rather than bespoke ground segments. Sustainment of legacy ground systems remains the reliable revenue base while that transition runs.
