Defense developer York Space Systems has announced the completion of its acquisition of All.Space, a developer of satellite communication terminals and multi-network connectivity technologies, which will now operate as a wholly owned subsidiary.

“Theaters are GPS-denied, which makes assured positioning a core requirement, not a secondary capability,” said York CEO Dirk Wallinger. “Coordination at the scale of a true unmanned fleet requires infrastructure that autonomy and extended communications alone have not been able to reliably provide. [This integrated system is] built on the space layer, which is the only architecture with the global coverage and in-theater assurance to make it work. Existing space systems were not designed for this mission. York and All.Space’s are."

The companies emphasize All.Space’s jam-resistant, multi-link, multi-orbit terminal technology, specifically its Hydra terminal products, and York’s track record delivering mission-critical capabilities.

“All.Space was built to keep communications alive in the exact conditions where communications are most likely to fail,” said Paul McCarter, CEO of All.Space, in a statement. “The demand for that capability is accelerating, and joining York gives us the space infrastructure, the mission operations depth, and the customer relationships to deliver it where it is needed most.”
