Quindar Inc.

Quindar Inc. is a US space-systems software company providing command and control, mission management, and operations automation software for government and commercial satellite operators. Its name references the Quindar tones, the audio signalling standard historically used to control ground-satellite communications links, reflecting the company's roots in space operations software. On 24 April 2026 Quindar was named among eleven awardees of the US Space Force's $3.2 billion Other Transaction Authority pool for Golden Dome space-based interceptor prototypes.

Quindar's products address the command and control layer of space operations, enabling ground stations and mission operations centres to manage satellite constellations at scale. As space-based interceptor architectures require real-time command, telemetry, and coordination software across multiple on-orbit assets, Quindar's software stack is a candidate contributor to the Golden Dome operational layer rather than the physical interceptor hardware.

As a smaller non-traditional entrant, Quindar's inclusion alongside heritage primes in the Golden Dome OTA pool reflects the programme's intent to build software and mission operations capability from purpose-built specialists rather than relying solely on in-house prime contractor development. OTA contracting removes the compliance barriers that typically prevent smaller software companies from accessing high-value defence contracts directly.
