Core offering

OSCorp develops AI/ML-powered autonomous spacecraft command and control software for Space Domain Awareness and orbital threat management. The company's core offerings include autonomous navigation systems, sensor fusion software, the Neural CLBF control algorithm for Rendezvous and Proximity Operations (RPO) with uncooperative objects, and the Sensor Search and Reacquisition Tool for Space Battle Management. Technologies are dual-use at the intersection of AI & Autonomy, PNT, and JADC2 for contested, GPS-denied environments.

Product overview

OSCorp is a robotics software and defense company developing dual-use technologies at the nexus of AI & Autonomy, Positioning Navigation & Timing (PNT), and Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). Their product portfolio centers on autonomous spacecraft Command and Control systems enhanced by sensor fusion, AI/ML, and robotic technologies. Key offerings include the Sensor Search and Reacquisition Tool (integrated into Space Battle Management), the Neural CLBF algorithm for RPO safety, and the PHALANX LiDAR sensor package. Research initiatives include the LIBRA project (NSF SBIR Phase I) for autonomous RPO optimization and the ShARCS project for automated ASAT/UCT tracking. Together these enable autonomous navigation, cross-domain ISR&T, and orbital threat management in contested GPS-denied environments.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• SDA TAP Lab (Space Domain Awareness Tools Applications and Processing)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 August 2024OSCorp selected for Cohort 4 of the SDA TAP Lab Apollo Accelerator. The Lab is part of USSF Space Systems Command (SSC) and supports the National Space Defense Center (NSDC). Collaborative effort to accelerate delivery of Space Battle Management (SBM) software to operational units by decomposing kill chains, prioritizing needs with operators, and mapping needs to technologies.
• AFRL Catalyst SDA Accelerator (CASDA2)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 February 2024OSCorp participated in the AFRL/RV Catalyst SDA Accelerator, engaging with 175+ potential customers from end users, acquisition officers, program managers, partners, vendors, and subject matter experts across 100+ U.S. Government entities, commercial companies, and research institutions. Provided insights into strategic capability gaps, pain points, and priorities.
• USSF Hyperspace Challenge / NSIN Government Business BootcampcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 June 2022OSCorp selected for the inaugural Catalyst Accelerator Government Business Boot Camp initiated by USSF in collaboration with Hyperspace Challenge, NSIN, and Colorado PTAC. SBA Growth Accelerator Fund Competition grant sponsored the program, assisting with lodging costs. Engaged six small businesses with DoD to accelerate dual-use technologies.

Direct peers

• ExoAnalytic Solutions: Specializes in Space Domain Awareness, non-Earth imaging, and tracking of resident space objects for the DoD — directly comparable to OSCorp's ShARCS UCT/ASAT tracking and NEI work for SDA TAP Lab.
• Slingshot Aerospace: Direct competitor in Space Domain Awareness software, providing sensor data fusion, SDA analytics, and Space Battle Management capabilities to DoD/SSC and USSF — and a fellow SDA TAP Lab cohort participant, making it a direct comparator for OSCorp's ShARCS work.
• LeoLabs: Commercial provider of LEO tracking and Space Domain Awareness built on a global radar network serving DoD, USSF, and commercial operators — comparable in mission focus and customer overlap, but with the deepest existing sensor infrastructure in the SDA market.
• True Anomaly: Developer of autonomous spacecraft and software for Space Domain Awareness, training, and tactical space operations — directly comparable to OSCorp's autonomy plus SDA mission area, and similarly focused on co-development with Space Force and USSF.
• Kayhan Space: Provides space situational awareness and autonomous collision-avoidance solutions for satellite operators and defense — comparable as an early-stage SDA software startup serving dual commercial/government markets with autonomous capabilities.
• SCOUT Space: In-space servicing and autonomous proximity operations startup offering on-orbit inspection and satellite life-extension services — directly comparable to OSCorp's commercial-segment RPO and uncooperative object proximity operations roadmap.
• Astroscale: Active debris removal and on-orbit servicing company with rendezvous and proximity operations flight heritage — comparable to OSCorp's commercial space-segment future (LIBRA, salvage, satellite life-extension), but with proven orbital missions.

Emerging players

• Turion Space: Early-stage in-space mobility and RPO startup building small-satellite servicing and debris-removal capabilities — overlaps with OSCorp's RPO and proximity-operations roadmap but is further along on flight hardware development.
• Rhea Space Activity: Australian/American small business specializing in Space Domain Awareness, JADC2, and autonomous space systems for DoD — similar size and similar DoD accelerator pedigree to OSCorp, with overlapping RPO/SDA mission focus.

Broad incumbents

• Anduril Industries: Defense-tech broad incumbent building Lattice OS for cross-domain autonomy (including space), with significantly larger capital base and broader customer footprint — comparable on autonomy software/AIR&D but operating at much greater scale and mission breadth.
