About this report
The United Kingdom has taken another step toward consolidating its role as a leader in space defence and orbital security with the award of a new contract to Raytheon UK , a subsidiary of RTX . The agreement, signed with the UK Space Agency , tasks the company with providing orbital analysis and situational awareness capabilities to support Britain’s Space Domain Awareness (SDA) mission — a strategic priority in the country’s evolving defence and security architecture.
At the core of the contract is NORSSTrack , Raytheon UK’s proprietary software platform designed to map and monitor satellites, track potential conjunctions and debris, and analyse re-entry trajectories.
