Official Description

Historically, U.S. space dominance relied on a benign environment where assets operated statically to provide communication, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) functions. Today, space is a contested and active warfighting domain. In response, the U.S. Space Force (USSF) is adopting the "Maneuver Without Regret" (MWR) concept. Implementing MWR necessitates high-voltage architectures (200V–800V) to support next-generation Electric Propul...
