Lockheed Martin and Firefly Aerospace Shatter Launch Timelines in Space Force Rapid Response Exercise Lockheed Martin and Firefly Aerospace have successfully completed the U.S. Space Force (USSF) VICTUS DIEM exercise, demonstrating the ability to process payloads and simulate launches on drastically compressed timelines. This breakthrough in Tactically Responsive Space (TacRS) proves that the U.S. can rapidly deploy orbital assets to counter immediate threats during a national security crisis. The exercise, part of a broader Space Force-led field training initiative, focused on moving away from traditional month-long launch cycles toward a model of extreme agility.
