The Space Development Agency (SDA) has signed a contract with Lockheed Martin to build 18 space vehicles as part of its Tranche 2 Tracking Layer constellation.

Lockheed Martin will supply 16 wide-field-of-view missile warning and tracking space vehicles equipped with infrared sensors, and two space vehicles equipped with infrared missile defense sensors.

This firm-fixed-price transaction agreement has a total potential value of $890 million.

' As missile threats increase around the world, we fully support the SDA space architecture to protect our nation and our allies, ' said Michael Corriea, vice president of warning programs at Lockheed Martin Space.

' We have made a significant investment in digital and production technologies, and with our experience in supporting SDA spacecraft, we look forward to delivering the space vehicles. '.
