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.
