WASHINGTON — Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has won a $446.8 million contract from the U. S. Space Force to build and operate the ground system for a new constellation of missile-warning satellites in medium Earth orbit.
The contract covers ground management and integration for the service's Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking program, according to a March 19 statement from Space Systems Command.
Kratos will provide the systems used to operate the satellites after launch, including sending commands, receiving sensor data and processing that information for delivery to military operators.
