Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. had been awarded an Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with a total potential value of $446.8 million, contingent on the exercise of all options. Kratos will serve as the prime contractor supporting the U.S. Space Force?s Space Systems Command for the Ground Management and Integration (GMI) agreement on the Resilient Missile Warning and Tracking (MWT) program. This program is a critical initiative to develop, deploy and sustain the ground infrastructure required to operate Resilient MWT satellites in Medium Earth Orbit (MEO).

The GMI agreement supports Space Force?s efforts to build and operate a resilient, integrated ground architecture capable of managing the Resilient MWT?s multi-orbit satellite constellation. The Resilient MWT system provides persistent detection, tracking and custody of advanced missile threats?especially hypersonic glide vehicles and maneuvering ballistic missiles. These capabilities are vital to enhancing missile defense and providing critical data to the warfighter.

Kratos will serve as the system integrator, leading a team including Northrop Grumman, Auria, ASRC Federal Systems Solutions and Rise8, to establish fully operational primary and backup mission operations capabilities. The program will unify legacy and next-generation ground assets into a single, scalable global network, ensuring connectivity with multiple space vehicle providers and the DoW?s Future Operationally Resilient Ground Evolution (FORGE) platform. This architecture will enable secure mission management, achieve full cyber accreditation and provide long-term sustainment, advancing a resilient ground architecture supporting current operational requirements and future threat environments.

Kratos OpenSpace is a family of solutions enabling the digital transformation of satellite ground to become a more dynamic and powerful part of the space network. OpenSpace is the first commercially available, fully orchestrated, software-defined ground system, allowing government agencies, commercial satellite operators, and service providers to adopt digital operations at their own pace and in ways that align with their mission needs and business models.
