Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) will aim to demonstrate a space-based sensor technology for defending against hypersonic weapons and other sophisticated missile threats under a $155 million prototype award from the Missile Defense Agency.
The company will perform on-orbit demonstration, launch and initial orbit testing work under Phase IIa of MDA’s Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor program , the Department of Defense said Friday.
MDA received four proposals for the project and will provide $25 million at the time of award. The agency expects the company to complete the services by July 22, 2023.
