Space Force Rethinks Satellite Ground Station Strategy
The U.S. Space Force has halted the $1.4 billion Satellite Communications Augmentation Resource (SCAR) program and is drafting a new acquisition strategy that moves away from a cost‑plus, single‑source contract. The original BADGER phased‑array ground terminals, awarded to BlueHalo/AeroVironment, were placed under a stop‑work order and will be re‑sourced under a fixed‑price, commercial‑technology model. The revised approach will invite multiple vendors to supply electronically steerable antennas, aiming to boost supply‑chain resilience and accelerate delivery. Parallel efforts such as the Joint Antenna Marketplace are already testing pay‑for‑use commercial antenna services.
