THE BOTTLENECK
Legacy defense systems trap data in a sequential ‘sensor-to-shooter’ chain, forcing it through congested bottlenecks that can cripple response times.
North Korean ICBMs could hit the U.S. West Coast in 25–30 minutes
Hypersonics cut that to 10–15 minutes.
Resetting the 30 minute clock
Once the cornerstone of missile strategy, hypersonic threats render the 30 minute clock obsolete.
SOLUTION
The Orbital Edge Advantage: Sophia Space Tiles
By pushing processing to the edge, in orbit, tiles can slash latency. Onboard data analysis cuts ground delays, while turbocharging sensor-to-shooter time from minutes to just seconds.
THE LEO ADVANTAGE:
SPOTTING THE INVISIBLE
Close-range LEO satellites detect faint hypersonic threats missed by high-orbit sensors.
Scaling with Tiles unlocks their full potential.
ENGINEERED FOR PRECISION
A LEO architecture focuses coverage where fast-moving objects fly, closing detection gaps left by legacy systems to deliver unmatched, real-time awareness.
