Programs in APL's National Security Space Business Area focus on space solutions to critical military problems. We develop and conduct innovative experimental missions, build space instruments, and produce new applications to meet warfighter needs. We offer innovative engineering, advanced technology development, and a deep-rooted system engineering culture. Significant experience in both civilian and national security space programs means we leverage capabilities and accomplishments from NASA programs to address national security space capability gaps and needs. As part of a Department of Defense (DoD)-sponsor-based organization, our National Security Space work also benefits from synergy with other APL business areas.
