Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC) has secured a potential $200.2 million contract from the U.S. Space Force to build the second site for a radar capability designed to facilitate object detection and tracking in geosynchronous orbit to provide space domain awareness for the U.S. military and its allies.
The Department of Defense said Friday the sole-source award covers the design, testing and integration of the Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability Site 2, which will be based within the European Command area of responsibility under a partnership with the U.K.
The cost-plus-incentive-fee contract awarded by the Space Systems Center Directorate of Contracting at Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is expected to conclude on Feb. 4, 2030.
In 2023, the U.S., Australia and the U.K. signed a trilateral agreement to host and run the DARC program as part of efforts to improve their collective space domain awareness through deep space object identification and tracking.
In February 2022, Northrop received a $341 million contract to develop the first of three planned ground-based space radar systems.
