Space Development Agency (SDA) cops to issues with scaling its Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA). The agency is grappling with a 2-3 month schedule slip. Core issues include:
Satellite Contact Failures: SDA and its vendors have struggled with the on-orbit checkout process – aka an inability to establish contact with one of its satellites launched in late 2025.
Component Scarcity: Sustained shortages of optical communications terminals (OCTs) and encryption devices continue to serve as the “critical path” for all vendors.
Launch Schedule Pressure: The next scheduled mission, T1TL-A, is ~ 4 months behind schedule due to the 45-day government shutdown, a launch rocket tech glitz, and issues with onboard software for satellites. https://satnews.com/2026/03/08/space-development-agency-faces-growing-pains-as-pwsa-scaling-hits-chokepoints/
