Pulse Space

latency of data gathering in space and point-to-point transit time in delivering effects.

Why it mattersPulse uses high-energy lasers to provide remote power, comms, and space situational awareness data to satellites and high altitude drones.

About

Problem

In future conflicts, dominance will be determined by control of the battlespace above national borders—including air and orbital domains. A nation that cannot secure and command the space above its territory surrenders a critical element of its sovereignty and strategic defense. It no longer controls it's fate.

Solution

We are building the ability to project force at vast distances instantaneously using high-energy lasers in space.

Field Validation

Pre-Field Technology Maturity (TRL): We are currently at TRL 5. We have fully built a flatsat in the lab. Tested in various simulated environments.

Strategic Advantage

This is hard to copy for a few reasons. We have IP and are quickly growing our portfolio. We also have unique

Go-to-Market

SBIRs, sponsored for a STRATFI, and we have commercial contracts already.

Dual-Use Potential

Yes. Our commercial focuses are remote power, space situational awareness, and communications in orbit.

Team
