AI powered Space Domain Awareness & Counter UAS for Defense Missions
Black Sand Solutions empowers the U.S. public sector, particularly the Department of Defense, Space Force, combatant commands, and intelligence community with AI/ML-driven technologies that deliver decisive advantages in space domain awareness and counter-unmanned aerial systems operations. In an era of proliferating adversarial satellite capabilities, hypersonic and ballistic threats, and drone swarms, BSS shifts the advantage from reactive defense to proactive, left-of-launch dominance.
The flagship SENTINEL platform fuses multi-INT data with physics-informed machine learning to detect satellite maneuvers and anomalies, provide early warning of ballistic missile launches, and deliver real-time predictive space domain awareness. This capability integrates directly with existing command-and-control architectures, supporting Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) goals and giving decision-makers actionable intelligence minutes to hours earlier than legacy systems. Government operators gain enhanced protection of orbital assets, improved force posture, and faster sensor-to-shooter timelines in contested environments.
BSS’s SENTINEL RF and multi-sensor counter-UAS solutions are purpose-built for GNSS-denied, RF-congested, and electromagnetically contested battlespaces where conventional sensors degrade. These systems deliver reliable early warning and cueing against unmanned threats and swarms, directly supporting force protection for airfields, forward operating bases, critical infrastructure, and high-value assets. Public sector customers benefit from solutions shaped by a veteran-led team with deep operational insight, ensuring tactically relevant performance rather than theoretical capability.
As a veteran-owned small business, Black Sand Solutions offers the agility, rapid prototyping, and mission-aligned customization that larger primes often cannot match at comparable speed or cost. Our engineering services, custom software development, and scientific research capabilities allow agencies to address unique requirements, whether extending SENTINEL analytics or integrating autonomy technologies, without the overhead of massive programs.
Commercial aerospace, satellite operator, and maritime customers also gain from BSS’s AI/ML pipelines and domain expertise for space traffic management, anomaly detection, and autonomous systems support. Through the Carahsoft partnership, federal, state, and local agencies can efficiently procure these mission-proven technologies via established contract vehicles, accelerating delivery of capabilities that strengthen national security and operational resilience across all domains.
