MITRE at AMOS 2025
AMOS - Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference
Visit our booth or click the “Let’s Connect” button below to schedule a meeting with our top Civil and Defense Space experts. We look forward to seeing you at AMOS.
The global space environment is critical to our country’s economic vitality and national security. Come meet our experts leading the charge to preserve and protect this unique resource.
On the world stage, through our public-private partnerships, consortia, and federally funded R&D centers, MITRE is facilitating the international adoption of norms, cooperation in data sharing, standards development, and coordinated debris management.
We’re looking beyond immediate technical solutions to understand the policy, geopolitical, and economic drivers underlying space capability gaps. And we’re working with our international partners toward agreed-upon, beneficial, and equitable structuring and allocation of orbits.
