Kratos To Support Launch Of Resilient Missile Warning Tracking Architecture

The Space Force has awarded Kratos Technology and Training Solutions a contract worth up to $446.8 million to build the ground system for its medium Earth orbit (MEO) constellation. The system will support the launch of the first two iterations of the Resilient Missile Warning Tracking (MWT) architecture, called Epoch 1 and 2. Kratos will manage operations at a corresponding ground-based Space Operations Center. The award is a follow-on to an original $55 million task order awarded to Parsons Corporation in April 2023. The Space Force is planning a baseline constellation of about 30 Resilient MWT MEO satellites, with the first set of nine Epoch 1 satellites scheduled to launch in early 2027. This development was first reported by Breaking Defense.
