战争部战略资本办公室与LeoLabs签署1.5亿美元有条件贷款承诺：配套出资后总注入达3亿美元
华盛顿消息，美国战争部战略资本办公室（Office of Strategic Capital，OSC）11月4日宣布，与太空感知企业 LeoLabs, Inc. 签署 1.5 亿美元有条件贷款承诺。这笔融资将加速部署关键雷达基础设施与先进决策科学软件，帮助美国在竞争日益激烈的太空领域保持领导地位。LeoLabs 是太空域感知（SDA）与太空交通管理（STM）解决方案的领先提供商。
按 OSC 吸引私人资本投向国家安全优先事项的使命，这笔有条件贷款与共同投资按一比一配套，总资本注入达到 3 亿美元。融资将扩大多任务相控阵雷达的生产与部署规模，显著提升美国的雷达制造能力与传感基础设施。
战争部表示，这笔融资将直接支持其优先事项：扩大 LeoLabs 的全球布局，加速先进传感器硬件的生产与部署，包括该公司的移动式「Scout」雷达单元。LeoLabs 是美国目前唯一可商用的地基雷达太空域感知提供商，其全球分布式雷达网络可实现快速、持续的云端数据更新与非涉密信息共享，是国防与盟友伙伴的一项关键商业能力。
OSC 主任、副部长 Steve Feinberg 的高级顾问 David A. Lorch 表示：「要保持我们的战略优势，就必须借助美国商业部门的创新与敏捷。这笔融资为战争部带来无可比拟的太空域感知能力，也表明我们致力于释放私人资本、解决最紧迫的国家安全挑战。通过支持一套全球分布式、全本土的太空雷达架构扩建，这笔交易增强了美国抵御轨道地缘扰动的韧性，并确保下一代技术由安全、本土来源的数据驱动。」
OSC 投资高级董事总经理 Jordan B. Sebold 表示：「高精度轨道跟踪是美国经济与国防工业基础不可或缺的一环，随着太空商业化加速，其重要性只会继续上升。OSC 对 LeoLabs 的投资将帮助我们对最重要的目标保持持续跟踪。」战争部负责研究与工程的副部长 Emil Michael 表示：「保持美国太空优势，意味着我们必须扩大能提升联合作战部队决策能力的商业能力。这笔 OSC 融资确保美国与盟友掌握在轨道上保持决策优势所需的数据。」
战争部说明，这份有条件贷款承诺规定 LeoLabs 在财务交割前还须完成额外步骤，包括满足财务、法律、技术、投资、尽职调查等方面的各项要求。

Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital Signs $150 Million Conditional Loan Commitment With LeoLabs
WASHINGTON — The Department of War's Office of Strategic Capital (OSC) announced on November 4 that it has signed a $150 million conditional loan commitment with LeoLabs, Inc., a leading provider of Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and Space Traffic Management (STM) solutions. The financing would accelerate the deployment of critical radar infrastructure and advanced decision science software, helping sustain American leadership in the increasingly contested space domain.
In alignment with OSC's mission to attract private capital to national security priorities, the conditional loan is matched dollar-for-dollar with co-investment, resulting in a total capital infusion of $300 million. The financing would scale production and deployment of multi-mission phased array radars, significantly expanding U.S. radar manufacturing capacity and sensing infrastructure.
The financing would directly support Department of War priorities by expanding LeoLabs' global footprint and accelerating the production and deployment of advanced sensor hardware, including the company's mobile "Scout" radar units. LeoLabs is the only commercially available provider of ground-based radar space domain awareness in the United States; its globally distributed radar network allows for rapid, continuous cloud-based data updates and unclassified information sharing, making it a critical commercial capability for national defense and for allied partners.
"To maintain our strategic advantage, we must leverage the innovation and agility of the American commercial sector," said David A. Lorch, Director of the Office of Strategic Capital and Senior Advisor to Deputy Secretary of War Steve Feinberg. "This financing equips the Department of War with unparalleled Space Domain Awareness capabilities and demonstrates our commitment to unleashing private capital to solve our most pressing national security challenges. By supporting the expansion of a globally distributed, wholly domestic space radar architecture, this transaction bolsters U.S. resilience against geopolitical disruptions in orbit and ensures that next-gen technologies are powered by secure, domestically sourced data."
"High-precision orbital tracking is integral to the U.S. economy and the defense industrial base, and its importance is only going to grow on account of the rapid commercialization of space," said Jordan B. Sebold, Senior Managing Director (Investments) at OSC. "OSC's investment in LeoLabs will help ensure we maintain persistent custody of the objects that matter most." Emil Michael, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, added: "Maintaining American space superiority means we must scale commercial capabilities that enhance decision-making for the Joint Force. This OSC financing ensures the United States and our allies control the data needed to maintain our decision advantage in orbit."
The conditional loan commitment specifies additional steps LeoLabs must complete before financial close, including satisfying various financial, legal, technical, investment, due diligence, and other requirements.
