VICTUS HAZE Jackal

Planned 2026

Jackal is a True Anomaly Autonomous Orbital Vehicle designed to maneuver independently in orbit and characterize resident space objects. In the VICTUS HAZE exercise - U.S. Space Force's 4th Tactically Responsive Space demonstration (TacRS-4) - Jackal will pair with Puma, a Rocket Lab Pioneer-class spacecraft launched separately on Electron, for rendezvous and proximity operations to collect space domain awareness data.
