WASHINGTON — The Space Development Agency today announced that Millennium Space Systems will develop all eight planned satellites to provide “fire control” for missile defense under a contract worth up to $414 million — an effort that will carve out a new role for the agency in the Pentagon’s missile defense kill chain.
Under the award, the Boeing-owned company is to provide the satellites for launch “in the first quarter fiscal year 2027” for the SDA program, called FOO Fighter, or F2, for Fire-Control On Orbit-Support-To-The-War Fighter, according to the agency’s press release.
