Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.

Positioning

True Anomaly is a US space-defense company whose JACKAL-0004 (launched May 2026) executed VICTUS HAZE, the first-ever space-to-space pursuit of an evading target (with Rocket Lab and the USSF), completing an operational sortie and capturing first images of another spacecraft. It won Kronos in July 2026 (its Mosaic software selected for a major USSF Battle Management program of record) plus a Golden Dome interceptor effort, making it the only startup combining flight-proven inspection craft, software, a factory, battle management, and interceptors, though Slingshot and LeoLabs show stronger continuous-revenue evidence. Revenue is estimated at 10-100m (~$260M+ raised class).
