Boeing and its subsidiary Millennium Space Systems said they will expand space-production capacity in order to meet rising demand.
The companies on Thursday said that they will scale production and bulk up their combined satellite portfolio, allowing them to deliver on current commitments and meet increased demand across defense and commercial markets.
"We're aligning our space business to meet a market that is moving faster and asking for more flexibility," said Kay Sears, vice president of Boeing's space, intelligence and weapons systems unit.
"That means increasing production throughput, broadening the portfolio and giving customers more options for how they field and scale capability over time."
Boeing said it is targeting 26 satellite deliveries this year, supported by investments in common products, repeatable manufacturing approaches and integration across Boeing and Millennium products.
As part of that effort, Boeing and Millennium Space will launch Resolute, a new mid-class satellite platform the companies said is designed for missions that need more capability than a traditional small satellite can provide, while also offering greater speed and flexibility than a typical large satellite program.
