Importantly, the government emphasizes that this is a market research event only and does not constitute a solicitation or promise of future contracts.
The primary objective of Kronos Mission Catalyst Day is to engage industry in discussions about the Kronos Commercial Solutions Opening (CSO) and to gather feedback on innovative approaches, technologies, and partnerships that may inform future acquisition activities.

The Kronos program itself develops a modern, integrated battle management and command-and-control (C2) Family of Systems supporting space operations across three primary Areas of Interest: Operational Command and Control, Battle Management, and Space Intelligence Integration. Event activities include government briefings, a moderated panel discussion with Program Management Office leaders and mission specialists, one-on-one meetings with the Kronos Team, and tabletop discussions designed to enhance understanding of program vision and integration expectations. Interested firms should direct questions to the Kronos CSO Org Box at SSC.BMZ.SYD85@spaceforce.mil.
