AAC Clyde Space awarded SEK 3.3 million for dual-use space technology project
2025-10-20 AAC Clyde Space AB (publ)
AAC Clyde Space's subsidiary Spacemetric AB has been awarded a project by the Swedish National Space Agency (Rymdstyrelsen) under the Agency's Dual-Use Space Technology Programme. The project, fully funded at SEK 3.3 million, will further develop and demonstrate Spacemetric's Bluestone software for advanced onboard data processing and is scheduled for completion in September 2026.
The programme supports the development of technologies that strengthen both civil and defence capabilities, reflecting a growing focus on space as a critical enabler of national resilience and security.
Bluestone is a software solution that enables satellites to process, combine and analyse imagery directly in orbit, providing faster, more autonomous access to critical information from space. The newly awarded project will further develop and demonstrate the Bluestone software for advanced onboard data processing and data fusion. The technology supports both civil and defence applications, helping to make space-based intelligence more responsive and resilient.
"Dual-use space technologies are becoming increasingly important for Europe's security and resilience," says Luis Gomes, CEO of AAC Clyde Space. "Through projects like Bluestone we continue to build the data capabilities that make space a more integral part of both civil and defence infrastructure."
Spacemetric currently leads two additional projects funded by the Swedish National Space Agency, focused on developing and testing software for satellite data processing and simulation. Together, these projects advance AAC Clyde Space's development of technologies that make space-based intelligence more accessible and resilient. The projects reinforces AAC Clyde Space's strategy to grow within data-driven services that strengthen resilience and security for customers across both civil and governmental markets.
