What Boecore does

Boecore is a U.S. defense and space software company headquartered in Colorado Springs, founded in 2000 and operating commercially under the Auria brand. The company builds advanced mission software for space operations, missile defense, strategic deterrence, space domain awareness, early warning, cyber defense, mission assurance, multi-level security, and secure software engineering. Its commercial product portfolio is organized into six categories: Battlespace Readiness (BORG, Blue Force Defender, Keplera, ScOPE), Cybersecurity (Cyntros), Mission Planning & Satellite Imagery Management (APS, Astro Scheduler, SpyMeSat, CPAW), SATCOM (TeRMS, MFPA), and DevSecOps (ADTMS, HOST Foundry, TAF), with the company describing these as rapidly deployable, military-grade software products. Go-to-market is exclusively through U.S. federal government contracts, with distribution via established federal contract vehicles and direct sales pursuit to defense agencies; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Boecore's customer base consists entirely of U.S. Department of Defense and federal civilian agencies, with publicly displayed logos including U.S. Space Force, Missile Defense Agency, Remote Sensing Systems Directorate, MILSATCOM, Air Force Space Command, Space Rapid Capabilities Office, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Army, NASA, Department of the Navy, and NORAD. The company is privately held and backed by Enlightenment Capital, which has financed a multi-year acquisition program. Between October 2022 and May 2023 Boecore completed three acquisitions — Ascension Engineering Group (2022-10-11), Orbit Logic (2023-02-13), and La Jolla Logic (2023-05-08) — extending capabilities in mission planning, satellite scheduling, and cyber operations.

In 2026 Boecore publicly positioned itself as a ground-software supplier on the U.S. Space Force Resilient Missile Warning & Tracking Program, announcing partnership roles with both Kratos (2026-04-08) and BAE Systems (2026-06-18), and integrated RKF, Kythera, and BCubed as capability-expansion partners. Leadership includes CXO-level executives Kelly Dean Pilarczyk (Chief Information Security Officer and Cybersecurity Manager), Gary Kerkow (Chief Operating Officer), and Kurt Ulrich (Chief Technology Officer). Headcount sits in the 101–250 range, consistent with a mid-sized cleared-software contractor scaling through acquisition and program wins.
