Ib khub ntawm aerospace giants - Lockheed Martin thiab Northrop Grumman - thiab ntiav venture York Space yuav txhua tus tsim 42 satellites rau SDA's Transport Layer Tranche 1 (T1TL).
Lockheed Martin yeej $700 lab, Northrop Grumman yeej $692 lab, thiab York yeej $382 lab.
SDA's Transport Layer network sawv cev rau Pentagon qhov kev sib tw los tsim kom muaj satellite internet. Cov tuam txhab xws li SpaceX's Starlink, OneWeb, Amazon, Telesat tau tso nyiaj rau hauv kev tsim cov xov tooj cua dav hlau ntiag tug hauv lub ntiaj teb qis.
Tab sis lub Pentagon lub hom phiaj los tsim nws tus kheej "mesh network" nrog rau Thauj Txheej, uas yog pom zoo li "lub cev muaj zog, qis-latency, high-volume data transport communication system." Lub Thawv Txheej tau tsim nyob rau hauv "tranches," nrog cov tub rog xav siv cov qauv tsim nrog me me, tus nqi qis satellites kom nws lub network muaj zog dua thiab hloov tau.
SDA muab khoom plig rau Lockheed thiab York nrog thawj daim ntawv cog lus rau Thauj Txheej hauv 2020 rau Tranche 0, nrog rau txhua lub tsev 10 satellites uas tau teem sijhawm yuav tshaj tawm tom qab xyoo no. Tranche 1 daim ntawv cog lus muab rau hnub Monday yuav tsum xa tuaj rau xyoo 2024.

Beames tau hais tias "Txawm tias muaj kev cia siab rau kev kwv yees, peb muaj ntau dua $ 1 nphom hauv kev rov qab" ntawm satellites los tsim nyob rau ob peb xyoos tom ntej no, Beames tau hais.
