On the Constellations Podcast we'll discuss the Space Development Agency (SDA) looking at taking capabilities and technologies that are already mature and integrating them into a solution for the military. During this episode, Colonel Kalliroi Landry, Space Development Agency, will discuss why the commercial model is attractive to the SDA, the challenges of DoD acquisition methods and the shift towards information services. Hear Colonel Landry describe getting capability to the warfighter on a relevant timeline and new technology coming out of the commercial industry that hasn't readily been available to the DoD before. Colonel Landry provides examples such as establishing ground entry points worldwide and the advancement of phased array antennas, which allow multiple satellite contacts per ground terminal.
