Slingshot Aerospace unveils TALOS for AI-driven satellite warfare and ops
TALOS is an autonomous AI agent that simulates satellite tactics including training, maneuvering and space combat, within a physics-accurate orbital environment. Slingshot Aerospace, an innovator in artificial intelligence solutions for satellite tracking, space traffic management and orbital simulation, has unveiled Slingshot TALOS, short for Thinking Agent for Logical Operations and Strategy. This new autonomous AI agent is designed to simulate realistic satellite behaviour and tactics within training and modelling environments, enhancing the preparedness of defence forces operating in space. TALOS leverages Slingshots proprietary behaviour cloning pipeline to learn and replicate authentic spacecraft manoeuvres, including space warfare tactics and orbital dogfighting strategies. When given a mission, TALOS independently analyses its surroundings, formulates strategies and executes operations in a highly accurate, physics-based simulation of Earths orbital environment. Tim Solms, CEO of Slingshot Aerospace, said: 'Space has become an integral warfighting domain, and AI-powered training and simulation capabilities will ensure the US, and its allies, are prepared for any relevant warfighting scenario. TALOS builds upon years of collaboration with the US Space Forces Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) and Slingshots proven virtual environments. It embeds AI agents that simulate realistic threats, optimize real-world operations, and support mission command decision-making with unprecedented speed and precision.' TALOS recently played a central role in exercises with the US Space Forces 57th Space Aggressors Squadron, which explored its capabilities as a force multiplier for advanced training. During the exercises, TALOS demonstrated its ability to simulate adaptive, machine-speed adversarial behaviours, expanding the realism and scale of space combat scenarios. The AI agent also contributed to the planning phase of the Space Flag exercise series, offering data-driven input that is expected to inform its ongoing integration in future operations. Beyond simulation, TALOS has real-world application in spacecraft mission support. By integrating Slingshots extensive tracking data and mission intelligence resources, including the Seradata satellite and launch database, TALOS autonomously assesses space environments, evaluates strategic options and recommends optimal courses of action to ensure mission safety and effectiveness. With the launch of TALOS, Slingshot Aerospace advances its mission to enable safer, smarter, and more responsive operations in Earths increasingly dynamic and contested orbits.

Slingshot Aerospace Launches TALOS: AI Agent for Mission-Ready Space Operations and Strategy
WINDSOR, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Slingshot Aerospace, Inc., the leader in AI-powered solutions for satellite tracking, space traffic coordination, and space modeling and simulation, today announced the launch of Slingshot TALOS — the Thinking Agent for Logical Operations and Strategy. TALOS is an autonomous, AI-powered agent designed to imitate realistic satellite actions in training and simulation environments. Purpose-built using Slingshot's behavior cloning pipeline, TALOS learns and replicates real-world spacecraft tactics, such as representative behaviors, space warfare maneuvers, and dogfighting strategies. Once assigned a mission, TALOS evaluates its surroundings, reasons through potential strategies and tactics, and executes its objective within a simulated, physics-accurate orbital environment. 'Space has become an integral warfighting domain, and AI-powered training and simulation capabilities will ensure the U.S., and its allies, are prepared for any relevant warfighting scenario,' said Tim Solms, CEO of Slingshot Aerospace. 'TALOS builds upon years of collaboration with the U.S. Space Force's Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) and Slingshot's proven virtual environments. It embeds AI agents that simulate realistic threats, optimize real-world operations, and support mission command decision-making with unprecedented speed and precision.' The U.S. Space Force's 57th Space Aggressors Squadron recently engaged with TALOS to help define its future role as a critical force multiplier for the unit's training mission. During exercises, TALOS was used to simulate complex, adaptive threat behaviors at machine speed — accelerating scenario development, expanding the scale of simulated adversaries, and enhancing mission realism. Squadron members also leveraged TALOS ahead of Space Flag to shape scenarios and inform planning for its use in future iterations of the exercise. Beyond its training and simulation utility, TALOS brings autonomous decision support to real-world spacecraft operations. Powered by Slingshot's space object tracking and mission intelligence datasets, including the Seradata satellite and launch history database, TALOS continuously evaluates a spacecraft's environment, identifies viable courses of action, and selects the optimal path forward, supporting mission safety, longevity, and operational agility. About Slingshot Aerospace Slingshot Aerospace provides government and commercial partners around the world with AI-powered solutions for satellite tracking, space traffic coordination, and space modeling and simulation. The Slingshot Platform transforms disparate space data into a common operating picture of the space domain by leveraging advanced space object tracking, artificial intelligence, astrodynamics, and data fusion. Slingshot's platform combines data from the Slingshot Global Sensor Network, the Slingshot Seradata satellite and launch history database, satellite owner-operators, and other third-party space data providers to create a holistic and dynamic view of space for training, planning, and operations. This unified representation of space activities – past, present, and predicted – enhances operators' space situational awareness, improves operational efficiency, and reduces risk for space operators. Slingshot is driven by its mission to make space safe, sustainable, and secure. The company was launched in 2017 and has locations in Colorado and the UK.

Butler, Hamilton counties seize large amounts of fentanyl and cocaine
Jun. 5—A three-month narcotics trafficking investigation netted the seizure of a large amount of fentanyl and cocaine. At around 7 a.m. Thursday, the Butler County Undercover Regional Narcotics Task Force searched an apartment in the 5200 block of Camelot Drive in Fairfield. Later, with the support of the Hamilton County Drug Abuse Taskforce, authorities searched an apartment in the 2300 block of Hidden Meadows Drive in Springfield. The investigation ended with the arrest of Errol Baker, 42, who is being held in the Butler County Jail on two first-degree felony counts of drug possession. He was arrested in Fairfield and is held on a $500,000 bond. Officer recovered from the two apartments about 120 grams of fentanyl, which could kill as many as 60,000 people; more than 90 grams of cocaine, $5,400, a 2017 Mercedes-Benz vehicle, and a Slingshot motorcycle. "This case represents the continued dedication of the BURN Task Force to identifying and removing high-level drug traffickers from our communities," said Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones. "Fentanyl is a deadly poison, and those who profit from its distribution will be held accountable."
