Our nation is at a pivotal time in space. Evolving threats are challenging our security in new ways as the domain becomes increasingly contested. At the same time, advanced technologies and a fast-growing commercial industry are unlocking new opportunities to advance the frontiers of space exploration and deliver on critical priorities.
Amidst this changing environment, The Aerospace Corporation continues to fulfill its role as a trusted partner, leveraging our unparalleled technical expertise to rapidly deliver capabilities that impact the mission and secure our nation’s leadership in space.
This year, Aerospace worked shoulder-to-shoulder with our customers to drive greater speed and agility into acquisitions across defense, intelligence and civil space. We are focused on quickly deploying capabilities that keep our nation safe to the warfighters and end-users. We are building the foundation for sustained space exploration and development as our nation seeks to return humans to the moon and beyond.
This dynamic time calls for new ways of doing business, and Aerospace is partnering to expand the industrial base and scale innovative capabilities by engaging with cutting-edge commercial companies. Our unique role allows us to work across the enterprise to provide objective data analysis, better connecting missions end-to-end and ensuring the success of our nation’s space programs as a whole.
As the leading research and development center for space, our depth of technical knowledge is at the heart of everything we do, and we are investing to make sure our mission-focused team has the state-of-the-art tools and facilities needed to effectively carry out their important work. We continue to evolve and enhance our capabilities to stay ahead of emerging needs, in areas like artificial intelligence, automation, modeling and simulation, prototyping and advanced concepts.
