Dogfighting in space won't look like the movies, but this company wants in on it

If a battle is fought in space, it will look nothing like those depicted in the Star Wars franchise, with sleek TIE fighters blasting enemy ships with laser cannons and mag-pulses. Instead, these battles will be cerebral and unhurried, somewhat like the 1973 film The Day of the Jackal, a slow-burning political thriller with a plot that somehow mixes tension with clinical precision.

In that film, an assassin sets out to murder the French president. The main character's moves are meticulously planned, with backup plans for backup plans.
