The technology company said Monday the potential $175 million single-award agreement, internally referred to as Project Anaconda, will leverage a phased strategy to help the Navy and Kratos manage risk, fast-track capability development and build scalable support systems for future fleet demands.
Indiana Radar Integration Complex
Kratos will construct the 155,000-square-foot Indiana Radar Integration Complex near Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane to support AN/SPY-1 maintenance, modernization and prototyping. The facility is set to begin operations in 2027. Phase 1 includes laying the IRIC foundation and developing initial repair and modernization processes for radar subsystems, including implementing digital engineering and artificial intelligence-driven data management.
Navy Targets Multi-Decade Radar Readiness
The AN/SPY-1 radar is a key Navy asset for missile defense, air warfare, and maritime awareness on Aegis-equipped ships. With many units expected to stay in service through 2065, the Navy is focused on building long-term support systems to keep the fleet mission-ready.
Remarks From Kratos CEO
“The AN/SPY-1 program and our new IRIC represent the intersection of Kratos’ core philosophies: rapidly developing affordable, real-world solutions for critical defense needs, while providing true long-term value to our government customers, the U.S. taxpayer, and our entire stakeholder community,” said Eric DeMarco, president and CEO of Kratos.
