Shield Space is a 2025-founded defence technology startup focused on safeguarding satellites from signal jamming, direct attacks, and other counter-space threats. Its core product is an autonomous, AI-powered guidance platform that allows spacecraft to identify hazards in real time and execute evasive manoeuvres independently, overcoming the latency of ground-based control. The company positions this capability as critical national infrastructure support for the UK, NATO and allied forces operating in increasingly contested orbits. With its technology nearing flight-ready status, Shield Space is preparing for its first orbital test mission to validate performance in space. Proceeds from its recent funding will also finance new premises in Lincoln and an expanded technical team to accelerate product maturation. Although the business has not disclosed revenue or user metrics, it is currently pre-deployment and focused on R&D and flight demonstrations.
