Space Units Were Delivered for 170 Space Vehicles
SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / Innoflight, a pioneer in cyber-secure space avionics, today announced the successful delivery of all 1,193 units supporting the Space Development Agency (SDA) Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 program, fulfilling commitments to all SDA prime contractors and Space Vehicle (SV) providers. SDA's PWSA Tranche 1 is a secure and low-latency mesh network of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites designed to provide beyond-line-of-sight missile warning and tracking military data to our warfighters.

The total 1,193 reflects Innoflight's delivery of 1,042 flight units integrated across 170 space vehicles; plus 151 engineering development, approved development, and flight spare units to support ground testing and mission assurance activities.
The Tranche 1 program includes:
126 Tranche 1 Transport Layer (T1TL) SVs
32 Tranche 1 Tracking Layer (T1TRK) SVs
12 Tranche 1 Demonstration and Experimentation System (T1DES) SVs
"This milestone reflects the relentless dedication of our operations, quality, industrialization, engineering and program management teams," said Alex Warner, Director of Operations at Innoflight. "By applying lessons learned from earlier tranches, we continue to improve throughput and execution. As a result, Innoflight has already delivered approximately 65 percent of the required units for Tranche 2."
Innoflight, together with its partners, made significant investments in advanced manufacturing equipment, automated test systems, workforce expertise, and process optimization to meet the rigorous and volume production requirements of Tranche 1. As a direct result, Innoflight's production capacity exceeds 1,500 units annually, positioning the company to support future large-scale military, national security space and commercial constellations.
