Booz Allen Hamilton has made strategic investments in promising space technology companies to support space manufacturing and domain awareness efforts.
The strategic funding provided to Quindar by Booz Allen’s venture capital arm will focus on programming and automating satellite operations through Booz Allen’s VoLT (VoLT) business strategy, the McLean, Virginia-based company announced Thursday. The move is aimed at powering mission-critical space technologies around the world.
“This investment demonstrates Booz Allen’s commitment as a key integrator and data solutions provider to the space sector, shaping tomorrow’s capabilities and advancing our customers’ missions,” said Chris Bogdan, executive vice president and head of Booz Allen’s Space business.
Quindar’s virtualized, cloud-scalable platform is designed to create near-autonomous command and control capabilities to help advance space warfighting. Quindar CEO and co-founder Nate Hammett said he looks forward to working with Booz Allen to further advance AI-enabled programs for space surveillance.
“Our combined expertise and technologies will pave the way for leveraging our mission management platform, which currently operates multiple customers and assets in space, to assist the United States in achieving near-autonomous command, control and communications capabilities across a hybrid fleet,” Hammett said.
Quindar marks Booz Allen Ventures’ second space-related investment since the $100 million firm was founded in 2022 and its 10th overall.
