About Orbital Carriers: Gravitics Orbital Carriers are spacecraft designed for Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) applications. By allowing the US Space Force and commercial partners to pre-position assets in orbit, these carriers are designed to enable immediate, on-demand deployment, providing the most rapid access possible to any location in near-Earth space.

The Diamondback (pictured above) is a versatile Orbital Carrier that is designed to leverage a common form factor that can support both TacRS applications and missile defense architectures—like those required by the SHIELD program—when outfitted with space-based interceptors.
