Solution Description:

One of THREE Hera Systems solutions in this Showcase.*** Hera Systems, a U.S. new space company, is building a highly-customizable Geospatial Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) platform to be deployed in VLEO constellations of up to 50 nanosatellites, providing 10-minute revisit over specific regions of interest. We are proud to have been invited to the AFWERX Space Challenge Virtual Showcase to highlight three areas of advanced development which empower resilient, nanosat-based warfighting solutions in support of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and the Intelligence Community.*** This Hera Systems solution focuses on strengthening mission power safety, resilience, and endurance through the use of zero-volt tolerant battery technology and associated autonomous power management improvements, addressing traditional constraints on nanosatellite utility and reliability. Our proposed approach demonstrates the transition of COTS “zero-volt” batteries to empower resilient commercial and warfighting applications on nanosatellites.*** Additional Hera Systems solutions are **Low Cost Proliferated ISR Telescope Manufacturing ** demonstrating significant time and cost reductions through use of 3-D printing to fabricate high-performance optical components, and **Resilient and Deceptive Communications** addressing the fighting satcom/PNT resiliency problem in a nanosat environment, incorporating anti-jamming and use of deception techniques. ***Search “Hera” to visit our other booths.
