adiness solutions. Live -Virtual -Constructiveintegration is blending live exercises with virtual and constructive 4 simulations to enhance realism and adaptability. Additionally, human -machineteaming is being prioritized to prepare warfighters for collaboration with autonomous systems and AI -enableddecision tools, reflecting the future of joint operations. Cloud infrastructure and zero -trustarchitectures are becoming foundational to defense IT modernization. Defense agencies are adopting zero -trustframeworks across cloud environments to ensure continuous authentication and minimize both insider and external threats. The DoD is rapidly replacing outdated IT systems with cloud -nativeplatforms, improving interoperability, cybersecurity, and operational agility. In tandem, the U.S. is deploying joint warfighting cloud capabilities to provide secure, multi -vendorcloud access from headquarters to the tactical edge, enabling real -timedata sharing across domains. In our view, these trends represent a durable and expanding opportunity set within the government services and national security landscape. As federal priorities continue to align around digital transformation, cyber resilience, and mission readiness, we believe the sector is well -positionedfor sustained growth and innovation, supported by long -termpolicy commitments and strategic investment. Space We believe the global space industry is undergoing a period of unprecedented growth and transformation, driven by both national security imperatives and commercial innovation. Governments and private enterprises alike are investing heavily in space -basedcapabilities, recognizing the domain’s critical role in defense, communications, economic development, and scientific advancement. As space becomes increasingly central to geopolitical strategy and commercial opportunity, we anticipate continued momentum across both public and private sectors. We believe several key growth drivers are fueling this expansion. Global government space investments reached a record $135 billion in 2024, with $73 billion allocated to defense -relatedprograms. In the U.S., the DoD has requested $34 billion for space -relatedprograms in fiscal year 2025, including $30 billion for the U.S. Space Force, which now represents approximately 3.5% of the total DoD budget. Meanwhile, the global space economy was valued at $570 billion in 2023 and is growing at an annual rate of 7.4%, with the commercial satellite industry accounting for 71% of the total. These figures underscore the scale and durability of investment across both government and commercial domains. We believe military space capabilities represent a foundational investment theme. The U.S. DoD is prioritizing investments in missile warning systems, satellite communications, and resilient space architectures to ensure space superiority and operational continuity in
