BlueHalo
Fast-growing defense technology company formed in 2021 through AE Industrial Partners' consolidation of multiple defense-tech firms (including AECOM's management services and Brilligent Solutions). Specializes in directed energy weapons, space sensors, satellite ground systems, C5ISR, and counter-UAS technology. A key Space Force supplier for ground-based space domain awareness sensors and satellite communication terminals. Recapitalized in 2023 at a high private valuation, making it one of the most valuable private defense-tech companies. Positioned at the intersection of space, directed energy, and electronic warfare -- three high-growth DoD budget categories. IPO or strategic exit widely anticipated within 2-3 years.

METHODOLOGY
Launch history and subsystem outcomes aggregate from AstraVeris's launch_events table with Wilson 95% lower bounds on success rates. ARI scores come from the 11-factor composite (/finance/methodology/). Constellation counts derive from the live CelesTrak/GCAT object catalog. Gov contracts from USAspending.gov awards; private deals from deduplicated pipeline deal extraction. Absence of a row means "not tracked" — we never fabricate. See /methodology/ for the full data model and /data-licensing/ for licensing terms.
