Kratos Defense & Security Solutions has been awarded multiple contracts worth more than $100 million combined for space and cyber capabilities. The work leverages Kratos' KnownSpace Network and field-portable space domain awareness terminals to support electronic warfare and offensive cyber operations.
What's happening
- Kratos received multiple contracts totaling over $100 million for space intelligence, RF collection, and cyber capabilities from the U.S. Government.
- Work will use Kratos' KnownSpace Network, KnownSpace Recon+ field-portable space domain awareness terminals, and software products for RF signal collection and processing.
- Contracts include development of prototype mission applications and cyber capabilities to support electronic warfare, offensive cyber operations, and the joint targeting cycle.
Why it matters
- Award expands U.S. military capacity for real-time space domain awareness and RF intelligence critical to targeting and electronic warfare operations.
- KnownSpace platform deployment strengthens the joint force's ability to detect, characterize, and understand satellite and terrestrial activity across operational environments.
- Contract demonstrates government reliance on commercial space intelligence infrastructure to support warfighter operations at scale.
Financial impact
- Revenue from $100 million in contracts will be recognized over the period of performance, timing not disclosed.
- Contracts add to backlog and support recurring revenue streams from government space domain awareness and cyber operations missions.
The fine print
- Kratos did not disclose the specific contract names, ceiling values, obligated funds, or periods of performance.
- Work includes prototype development, suggesting some contracts may be research and development efforts rather than full production.
