The SCO plans to hold a classified Industry Day in Chantilly, Virginia, on September 14–16, 2026.

The SCO aims to accelerate the development of a family of next-generation, maneuverable, high-precision hypersonic weapons specifically designed to penetrate advanced defensive architectures. These weapons will span multiple programs and utilize various configuration combinations, specifically involving:

Different stand-off ranges

Different booster sizes

Different payload packages

The objective is to provide the Department of Defense with flexible options for engaging a wide range of targets.

Space Force Expects to Spend $17B More on Launch as Demand Soars​

Space Force Expects to Spend $17B More on Launch as Demand Soars
Those increases are revealed in the latest version of the National Security Space Launch program’s selected acquisition report
Click to expand...
The surge in demand comes as the Space Force is planning to field large numbers of satellites in the coming years to support missions like satellite communications, space domain awareness, missile warning, and moving target indication. NSSL also supports the National Reconnaissance Office and other classified customers who are fielding proliferated constellations of their own.

The growing manifest is also likely to support Golden Dome, a sprawling, layered, missile defense architecture. The Space Force is supporting that program in a few ways, including by developing space-based interceptors that can engage a missile during the boost and midcourse phases of flight. Initial prototypes of those spacecraft are expected to be integrated into the Golden Dome architecture by 2028.

The Space Development Agency is also fielding a missile defense and tracking constellation and recently announced it would add 36 more satellites to that architecture to support Golden Dome. Those satellites are also scheduled to be ready for launch by 2028.
