York Space Systems announced that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of ALL.SPACE, a provider of advanced satellite communications terminals and multi-network connectivity solutions, in a deal valued at approximately $300 million. Following the transaction, ALL.SPACE will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of York.
The acquisition combines ALL.SPACE’s jam-resistant, multi-link satellite terminal technology with York’s space infrastructure and mission operations capabilities, creating an integrated platform designed to provide resilient communications and assured positioning across space, land, air, and maritime environments. The combined offering is intended to support military operations in contested environments where traditional radio frequency communications and GPS signals may be disrupted or denied.
As military operations increasingly rely on unmanned systems, York believes reliable communications and positioning have become critical operational requirements. The company said its Mission Operations Command and Control platform enables warfighters to coordinate and execute missions across distributed global theaters, while ALL.SPACE’s Hydra Terminal Range provides simultaneous connectivity across multiple satellite networks operating in low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), and highly elliptical orbit (HEO). Together, the technologies are designed to maintain communications even when single-network systems are compromised.
Under the terms of the agreement, York acquired ALL.SPACE for approximately $300 million, consisting of about $155 million in cash and 5.9 million shares of York common stock. ALL.SPACE, which recently redomiciled to the U.S., will continue serving defense and commercial customers while operating as a wholly owned York subsidiary.
KEY QUOTES:
“The way unmanned systems are operated today is not how they will need to be operated as production scales. Theaters are GPS-denied, which makes assured positioning a core requirement, not a secondary capability. And coordination at the scale of a true unmanned fleet requires infrastructure that autonomy and extended communications alone have not been able to reliably provide. The next generation of unmanned operations demands an integrated system for communications, coordination, and execution, built on the space layer, which is the only architecture with the global coverage and in-theater assurance to make it work. Existing space systems were not designed for this mission. York and ALL.SPACE are.”
Dirk Wallinger, CEO of York Space Systems
“ALL.SPACE was built to keep communications alive in the exact conditions where communications are most likely to fail. The demand for that capability is accelerating, and joining York gives us the space infrastructure, the mission operations depth, and the customer relationships to deliver it where it is needed most. Our teams, our technology, and our customer commitments remain intact.”
Paul McCarter, CEO of ALL.SPACE
