The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $48,309,719 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to L3 Technologies, Inc.'s Space & Sensor Systems Group (L3 SSG) for the Agile Small-Satellite Experimental Telescope (ASSET) program. The ASSET contract, which has a completion date of June 30, 2025, was competed with no set-aside designation. L3 SSG, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., is an aerospace and defense technology provider that has supported past U.S. government contracts. The ASSET program aims to develop infrared telescopes suitable for small satellite platforms, with a focus on rapid steering capabilities across a wide field-of-regard - an effort that aligns with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) interest in revolutionary advances in small-satellite remote sensing.
