Defense tech company Anduril is purchasing boutique data firm ExoAnalytic Solutions, which operates a network of 400 telescopes around the world to track spacecraft in high orbits above the planet. The company's engineers convert these observations into situational awareness tools for U.S. national security agencies. The acquisition could help Anduriel win government contracts for the Golden Dome missile defense system, which is expected to include thousands of satellites to track and target enemy missiles. The machine vision algorithms Exoanalytic has developed to spot satellites in orbit could also be useful for interceptors trying to track incoming threats.
