The Space Development Agency (SDA) has issued an award using Other Transaction Authority (OTA) with a total potential value of approximately $414 million to build eight satellites, for launch in first quarter fiscal year 2027, to accelerate fire-control capability for global detection, warning, and precision tracking of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic missile systems.
This firm fixed-price agreement was awarded to Millennium Space Systems, Inc. to deliver eight satellites as part of the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture‘s (PWSA) Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter (FOO Fighter) program. FOO Fighter, or F2, will demonstrate advanced missile defense capability by incorporating fire control-quality sensors into a prototype constellation.
“The FOO Fighter program will provide an operational demonstration of fire control efforts separate from, but complementary to, our missile warning/missile tracking and missile defense efforts already underway in the tranches,” said Derek Tournear, SDA director. “We look forward to working with Millennium, a new teammate in the expanding marketplace of performers innovating to deliver the PWSA for the warfighter.”
