Insights
This partnership with Rivada Space Networks represents a strategic expansion of Amentum's service offerings in the defense and intelligence sectors. The integration of Rivada's Outernet technology - a constellation of 600 LEO satellites with inter-satellite laser links - positions Amentum to potentially capture additional market share in the growing secure communications segment.
While strategically sound, the announcement lacks critical financial metrics that would allow investors to quantify the potential impact. There's no disclosure of contract values, revenue projections, implementation timelines, or capital requirements that might be necessary to operationalize this partnership. This makes it impossible to model the expected contribution to Amentum's
From a competitive standpoint, this partnership appears to strengthen Amentum's value proposition for government clients concerned with network security and resilience. The focus on "zero trust networking" aligns with current government priorities in cybersecurity. However, without exclusivity details, it remains unclear whether this technology will provide a sustainable competitive advantage or simply allow Amentum to maintain competitive parity in bidding processes.
For investors, this represents an incremental positive development that enhances Amentum's capabilities portfolio rather than a transformational deal with immediate financial impact. The partnership's long-term value will depend on Amentum's ability to leverage these capabilities to secure new contracts or expand existing relationships with defense and intelligence customers.
The Outernet's backbone in space brings an unparalleled level of security to government & defense communications
Highlights:
- Outernet is a constellation of 600 ultra-secure, networked low-earth orbit satellites
- Combining the speed of fiber with the reach of satellite
- Orbital mesh network with no terrestrial gateways ensures security by design
As the first unified global communications network, Rivada's Outernet is transformative. A global low-latency point-to-point network of 600 low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, it is a unique next-generation constellation combining inter-satellite laser links with advanced onboard processing and routing to create a ubiquitous optical mesh network in space. This "orbital network," in which data stays in space from origin to destination, creates an ultra-secure satellite network with pole-to-pole coverage, offering end-to-end latencies much lower than terrestrial fiber over long distances. And by routing traffic on a physically separated network in space, it provides a layer of defense for any organization that needs to share data securely between widely distributed sites.
Declan Ganley, CEO, Rivada Space Networks, said: "We are delighted to be working with Amentum to enhance their portfolio of services for national security, intelligence and commercial customers. Global geopolitical dynamics continue to highlight concerns about national security and the state of civil and defense infrastructure particularly in the area of cybersecurity and resilient information systems. The space domain now plays a critical role in securing network infrastructure and addressing rising data sovereignty and security demands."
Ganley added, "Unlike traditional LEO systems, which bridge the last mile between the satellite and the nearest gateway, Rivada's game-changing Outernet is a fully independent and inter-connected, MEF compliant private space network that re-defines connectivity in terms of security, latency, capacity, efficiency, and coverage. It is fast becoming the system of choice for secure data communications."
"Our goal is to ensure our customers have access to the latest innovation in secure space architecture as part of their national security solutions," said Dave Marlowe, Vice President, Intelligence & Cyber at Amentum. "Rivada is building a uniquely capable LEO constellation focused on zero trust networking and by establishing a highly secure global communications backbone in space, the Outernet not only strengthens digital infrastructure on a global scale, but it also provides an innovative platform for our US government customers to expand their capabilities to meet new challenging mission needs. By tapping into a truly independent global network, we can offer a new level of resilience, security, performance and global reach."
