Redwire Corporation, a space and defense technology company with operations across the U.S. and Europe, has announced the release of Acorn 2.0, the latest version of its advanced modeling and simulation platform. Built on the Modular Open System Architecture, the software integrates agent-based modeling and artificial intelligence to support mission concept development and complex system analysis. Acorn 2.0 enables aerospace and defense customers to simulate and evaluate hybrid architectures, meshed networks, multi-domain operations, spacecraft communications, and supply chain digital twins. Among its key features are accelerated simulations, hybrid testing, cyber vulnerability assessments, and compatibility with existing AI and simulation tools, providing a highly dynamic and interactive environment for customers.
Tom Campbell, President of Redwire Space Missions, stated, “We recognize the challenges of large space-based architectures—from satellite constellations to layered defense systems—require robust domain-specific digital engineering systems and through Acorn 2.0 we are excited to deliver these solutions to our customers.” The company has already begun deploying the platform, including with Earth observation startup DeepSat, which will use Acorn 2.0 with in-orbit AI to optimize the design and performance of its satellite constellation. With approximately 1,300 employees, Redwire continues to invest in digital engineering, AI automation, and aerospace infrastructure to strengthen multi-domain operations and mission readiness.
