Tech7 Receives Small SpaceWERX Contract For PWSA Testbed

U.S. technology company Tech7 has received a SpaceWERX Direct-to-Phase-II Small Business Innovation Research award to develop a testbed supporting the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture. The proposed PLATE environment will use Amazon Web Services infrastructure to provide an unclassified development and experimentation setting for software and mission applications associated with distributed military satellites. The work is intended to allow testing and integration before tools are considered for more operationally representative environments, supporting Space Development Agency architecture objectives. This is an early-stage research and prototype award, not a contract to deploy satellites or confirmation that the software has passed operational qualification.
