The company ‌is looking to ​tap increasing ​reliance on satellite infrastructure from ⁠defense and internet connectivity sectors.

The new mid-class ​satellite platform, Resolute, will address missions ​that require "more capability than a traditional small satellite can provide, with greater speed and flexibility than a typical large satellite program," Boeing said ‌in a release.

Boeing said it will invest in integrating its ​products ​with that of ⁠Millennium's to boost production.

Space-based technologies, from satellite-enabled communications to surveillance, are increasingly shaping modern conflict. The tech was used during the U.S. strikes in Venezuela and in the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran this year.
