Orlando, Florida — On Wednesday, September 30, 2026, the Space Force Association announced space defense technology provider True Anomaly as the primary title sponsor for the upcoming Spacepower Conference 2026.
Scheduled to take place December 8–10, 2026, at the Hilton Orlando, the annual gathering serves as a primary operational and technology forum for senior leadership across the U.S. Space Force, national security space agencies, allied defense partners, and commercial industrial base primes.
The announcement coincides with a period of expanded operational execution and capital growth for True Anomaly, following its recent completion of a Series D funding round and technical demonstrations in support of Department of Defense (DoD) space domain awareness (SDA) and tactically responsive space (TacRS) directives.
Operational Integration Across TacRS and Orbital Defense
True Anomaly’s sponsorship reflects its position as a hardware and software prime contractor within the national security space sector. The company’s core technology roadmap aligns directly with U.S. Space Force priorities surrounding dynamic space operations, space superiority maneuvers, and rapid threat response.
Earlier this year, True Anomaly achieved a major technical milestone by executing its role in the U.S. Space Force’s high-visibility mission Space Force and True Anomaly Complete First Tactical Intercept of VICTUS HAZE Mission. During the operational sequence, True Anomaly’s JACKAL-0004 satellite successfully intercepted and conducted close-range rendezvous and proximity operations (RPO) around an uncooperative target satellite in low Earth orbit within 61 hours of the alert order, demonstrating automated characterization capabilities on compressed tactical timelines.
Additionally, the company continues work as a prime contractor on missile defense architecture studies, including candidate concept development for the Space-Based Interceptor (SBI) initiative under the DoD’s broader missile defense shield framework.
Autonomous Platform Infrastructure and Mission Architecture
True Anomaly’s operational fleet relies on two tightly integrated core products engineered specifically for space superiority and domain awareness operations:
- Jackal Autonomous Spacecraft: A specialized, high-delta-V satellite chassis engineered for responsive maneuvers, orbital plane changes, and close-range multi-aspect imaging of uncooperative space assets.
- Mosaic Operating System: A proprietary multi-vehicle command-and-control (C2) software platform that translates commander intent into real-time autonomous trajectory guidance and sensor tracking routines.
By integrating autonomous flight engines with high-thrust propulsion configurations, the system reduces operator workload during multi-satellite tracking engagements, enabling real-time orbital characterization in contested environments.
Defense Leadership Perspective on Space Warfare Readiness
“The threat environment in space is evolving faster than at any point in history, requiring industry and warfighters to work side-by-side to deploy decisive capabilities at operational speed,” said Even Rogers, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of True Anomaly. “Sponsoring the Spacepower Conference provides a critical platform to align commercial innovation directly with Space Force acquisition goals, ensuring our forces maintain absolute space domain awareness and deterrence across every orbital shell.”
Event Focus Areas and Industry Convening Timeline
The Spacepower Conference 2026 will focus on operationalizing rapid launch pathways, securing distributed space architectures against anti-satellite (ASAT) threats, and scaling commercial procurement frameworks, such as the Space Force’s $6.2 billion Andromeda program.
Detailed operational panels, technical demonstrations, and executive keynotes involving defense acquisition leads and industry partners will continue through the event’s conclusion on December 10, 2026.
