ORBITAL GUARDIANS

EYES ON SPACE TO PROTECT AMERICA

GOVERNMENT-OWNED,
CONTRACTOR OPERATED
SPACE SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM

National security begins in space. While the Golden Dome will protect America from incoming missiles, the opening moves of the next conflict will likely come from hostile actions against the satellites above Earth that give those defenses their power.

Orbital Guardians will be the eyes on space to protect America. A global, ground-based network of telescopes, radars, radio-frequency antennas, and advanced sensors, it provides continuous surveillance of the orbital domain. By detecting threats before they strike, Orbital Guardians gives the United States the insight and time needed to protect its missile defenses, secure the high ground of space, and safeguard the nation.

PERSISTENT GLOBAL COVERAGE

Orbital Guardians will provide uninterrupted surveillance across the entire orbital environment, from low Earth orbit to GEO and beyond. With the world’s largest commercial telescope network already in place, it will deliver continuous visibility of every maneuver, every satellite, and every potential threat — ensuring nothing in space goes unseen.

PRECISION TRACKING

More than just detection, Orbital Guardians will deliver precise orbital updates and detailed characterization of satellites, debris, and adversary systems. Its high-fidelity tracking will ensure operators can distinguish routine activity from hostile intent, providing reliable, decision-quality data that warfighters and mission planners can depend on.

REAL-TIME ALERTS & INSIGHTS

Because engagement timelines matter, Orbital Guardians will deliver real-time alerts paired with deep operational insights. Automated maneuver & anomaly detection and advanced analytics will highlight not just what is happening, but why it matters — giving operators the context to assess risks and respond with confidence quickly.

THE THREATS ARE REAL

Space is no longer a peaceful frontier. Adversaries are deploying weapons designed to jam, blind, and disable satellites. These satellites power everything from GPS navigation and banking to missile warning and troop communications. A single hostile move in orbit could disrupt daily life, cripple military operations, and tilt the balance of power away from the United States.

PROVEN CAPABILITY,
AVAILABLE TODAY

ExoAnalytic has already built a space surveillance system that excels today, delivering data and insights to the U.S. Government. Operating under a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated (COCO) model, it provides persistent monitoring, real-time tracking, and actionable intelligence across the geostationary belt — the most critical region for national security space. Powered by the world’s largest privately operated telescope network and over a decade of operational experience, the system continuously scans the skies, detects maneuvers, and delivers alerts when threats emerge.

GEO PATHFINDER PROGRAM

The Orbital Guardians GEO Pathfinder, proposed in the FY26 budget, will give the Space Force a ready-now capability while training Guardians to perform space domain awareness at operational speed and scale. Built on ExoAnalytic’s proven network and tools, the program places Guardians alongside experienced operators, providing hands-on training and access to a decade of commercial expertise to ensure they can detect, track, and counter adversary actions in space.

FUTURE SYSTEM

Orbital Guardians operates today under a Contractor-Owned, Contractor-Operated model, but the long-term vision is a Government-Owned, Contractor-Operated system. ExoAnalytic will deliver full government ownership of hardware, software, and intellectual property, along with unlimited data rights. This ensures the Space Force retains enduring control, flexibility, and transparency while building a scalable foundation that integrates with allies and grows with the mission. The U.S. gains not only a proven capability today, but a sovereign, lasting system for tomorrow.
