Assured Space Access Technologies, a leading provider of secure tactical communications and advanced aerospace solutions, announced plans for the opening of its new Phased Array Center of Excellence (PACE) in Melbourne, Florida. This state-of-the-art facility will address rapidly scaling demand for Assured Space's ground-based radar, space-based RF payload, and military tactical 5G wireless solutions, enabling the company to service an Industry backlog exceeding $30 billion in defense and commercial contracts.
The new PACE Facility reinforces Assured Space's long-term commitment to advancing secure aerospace technologies and builds lasting trust with mission-critical partners.
Located in Florida's high-tech corridor, the PACE Facility will drive innovation in active electronically scanned array (AESA) technology, RF antenna systems, and secure 5G architectures. The facility will house advanced manufacturing, testing, and research operations to deliver mission-critical solutions for aerospace, defense, maritime and land mobile applications. Assured Space's proprietary CapLink ArrayTM, custom sensor solutions, and Zero-Trust (ZT) tactical communications platforms will be key focus areas.
The new center is expected to create over 200 high-tech jobs on Florida's Space Coast within the next 18 to 24 months, boosting the local economy and strengthening Assured Space's nationwide presence. Additionally, the company will establish STEM partnerships with local and regional academic institutions to foster workforce development and innovation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
"We are excited to bring this Center of Excellence to Melbourne, driving economic growth and advancing cutting-edge technologies," said Sean McDaniel, President and CEO of Assured Space Access Technologies, Inc. "By creating jobs and collaborating with academic partners, we're investing in the Space Coast's future while delivering critical radar, RF payload, and 5G solutions to our defense and commercial customers."
"Assured Space Access Technologies is exactly the kind of forward-thinking, mission-driven company we're proud to welcome to Florida's Space Coast. Their investment in Melbourne will create over 200 high-paying jobs and advance cutting-edge aerospace and defense technologies. This is a major win for our local economy and national security. I look forward to seeing Assured Space thrive right here in our district," Congressman Mike Haridopolos (FL-08).
