York Space Systems, a leading, US-based national defense and commercial prime providing a comprehensive suite of mission-critical solutions, announced the completion of its acquisition of ALL.SPACE, a leading provider of advanced satellite communications terminals and multi-network connectivity solutions. ALL.SPACE now operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of York. The acquisition unites ALL.SPACE’s jam-resistant, multi-link terminal technology with York’s proven space infrastructure and mission operations capabilities, creating a complete tactical ecosystem to deliver assured communications and positioning across space, land, air and maritime domains. In current conflicts, RF communications, including high-bandwidth commercial satellite networks designed for throughput rather than contested environments, have been jammed so effectively that forces have turned to fiber optic lines to maintain connectivity. As unmanned systems scale, that gap becomes the defining operational challenge.
"The way unmanned systems are operated today is not how they will need to be operated as production scales,” said Dirk Wallinger, CEO of York. “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."
York’s Mission Operations Command and Control capabilities provide the management and task execution layer that enables warfighters to coordinate and execute across distributed, global theaters. ALL.SPACE’s Hydra Terminal Range delivers simultaneous multi-link, multi-orbit, and multi-band connectivity across LEO, MEO, GEO and HEO networks, ensuring resilient communications across space, land, air and maritime domains for platforms on the move in contested environments.
Together, York and ALL.SPACE provide the integrated communications, coordination and execution layer that keeps the warfighter connected and positioned where single-network systems cannot be relied upon, including in support of unmanned systems operating at scale. Coordinating modern unmanned operations demands global coverage and assured in-theater communications. Only the space layer provides both at the scale required. No existing space architecture was purpose-built to address that gap.
“ALL.SPACE was built to keep communications alive in the exact conditions where communications are most likely to fail,” said Paul McCarter, CEO of ALL.SPACE. “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.”
York has acquired ALL.SPACE for a total purchase price of approximately $300 million, consisting of approximately $155 million in cash and 5.9 million shares of York common stock. ALL.SPACE, which recently redomiciled to the US, will continue to operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of York, serving customers across defense and commercial markets.
