Booz Allen to support engineering and
integration of space sensing systems
Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) announced today it was awarded a
seven-year, $630-million, single-award contract with the U.S. Space
Force to support systems engineering and integration of
next-generation space-based missile warning, environmental
monitoring, and surveillance, reconnaissance, and tracking. As part
of this work, Booz Allen will support Space Systems Command
(SSC)—the Space Force field command for space development,
acquisition, launch, and logistics—in engineering resilient space
sensing capabilities. In addition, the firm will integrate the Next
Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) program, a $14.4
billion program to upgrade U.S. missile warning and missile
tracking capabilities to combat emerging missile threats.
This contract will leverage Booz Allen’s capabilities and
mission expertise in digital engineering, mission integration,
agile software development, cybersecurity, change management, AI,
and machine learning (ML) to help the Space Force achieve its
vision for a Digital Service. It also demonstrates the criticality
of the space domain in delivering key decision-making information
to warfighters and intelligence agencies to protect the nation.
“Booz Allen has been a trusted partner for defense, national
security, and civil space missions for more than 50 years, starting
with the nation's first missile defense strategy,” said Andrea
Inserra, executive vice president and leader in Booz Allen’s
Aerospace business, which includes critical work for the U.S. Air
Force, Space Force, U.S. Space Command, and NASA. “This is an
exciting moment for Booz Allen, and we are thrilled to continue
building upon our partnership with Space Force and the Department
of Defense for critical missions aimed at accelerating and
maintaining space superiority and driving information to action—no
matter the domain.”
Work on the contract will primarily take place in El Segundo,
California, and Colorado Springs and Aurora, Colorado, with the
ability to leverage teams and technology capabilities at additional
U.S. locations as needed.
“This contract win is a key element of Booz Allen’s long-term,
multiyear space strategy to meet client needs at the intersection
of mission and technology,” said Eric Hoffman, vice president and
leader in Booz Allen’s space business. “This partnership reaffirms
Booz Allen’s position as a leader in building and delivering
world-class, mission-critical systems engineering, cyber
architecture, and remote sensing capabilities to sustain U.S. space
superiority.”
This win builds on Booz Allen’s deep history in space solutions.
The firm’s work includes over 50 years of multifaceted support for
the International Space Station, modernization of NASA’s
infrastructure and policies, engineering and analysis for the
Artemis mission, and the Cybersecurity and Privacy Enterprise
Solutions and Services (CyPrESS) contract—the first time NASA has
united cybersecurity for IT, operational technology, and mission
systems under one contract.
