San Francisco, CA – March 5, 2025 – Rocket Communications, a leader in user experience (UX) design and front-end development, is playing a critical role in the U.S. Space Force’s Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution Command and Control (FORGE C2) program. In collaboration with BAE Systems, Rocket Communications is delivering cutting-edge UX workflows, design, and front-end development to streamline operations and improve the efficiency of satellite operators managing critical national security missions.
The FORGE C2 program aims to create a unified command and control system for the Space Force’s Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) missile warning satellites. These include the Next-Generation Geostationary (NGG) and Polar (NGP) satellites, as well as the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) constellation. The integration of a common system will simplify operations, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance flexibility for future advancements in missile warning technologies.
Rocket Communications specializes in designing mission-critical UX solutions that enable operators to effectively interact with complex defense systems. By providing intuitive interfaces and optimized workflows, Rocket Communications ensures that users can make rapid, informed decisions in high-pressure environments. “For a program as vital as FORGE C2, user experience is not just about design—it’s about operational effectiveness,” said Jen Rousey, Chief Experience Officer at Rocket Communications.
With a history of supporting aerospace and defense programs, Rocket Communications remains committed to advancing UX and front-end development for mission-critical applications. Its collaboration with BAE Systems on FORGE C2 underscores the increasing importance of usability in modern command and control technology.
