According to the report, the US Space Force is leveling up how it prepares for conflict in orbit, awarding Slingshot Aerospace a $27-million contract to inject artificial intelligence (AI) into space warfare training.
The report stated that over the next 18 months, the company will help modernize the Space Force’s Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI), moving away from scripted exercises and toward AI-driven adversaries that can think, adapt, and maneuver like real satellites operated by near-peer rivals.
The report added that at the center of the effort is TALOS. It is an autonomous AI agent launched in July 2025 to serve as a realistic “Red Force” in orbital war games. Instead of following pre-programmed paths, TALOS responds dynamically to trainee actions, forcing Space Force Guardians to deal with unpredictable, machine-speed threats.
Additionally, TALOS is trained on Slingshot’s massive library of real-world orbital data, drawn from tracking approximately 95 percent of payload-sized objects across Earth’s orbital regimes.
