About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) received a $5.53 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from the Air Combat Command to provide GPS post-tracking support for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile and re-entry body technology through August 31, 2030. The contract, awarded September 1, 2025, will be performed at APL's primary facility in Laurel, Maryland. This delivery order leverages APL's substantial expertise in advanced systems engineering and technical services supporting Department of Defense strategic weapons programs, positioning the laboratory to deliver critical positioning and tracking capabilities that enhance the accuracy and reliability of the nation's aging ICBM fleet.
This award represents a task order issued under one of APL's existing IDIQ vehicles with the Air Force, such as the $75 million single-award contract for systems and mission engineering development, test, and analyses with similar completion timelines. The contract was procured as a non-set-aside award, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of GPS tracking support required for strategic missile systems. APL's involvement in Minuteman III modernization efforts aligns with the Air Force's broader initiative to sustain and enhance the reliability of the ICBM deterrent through advanced tracking, guidance, and re-entry vehicle technologies, leveraging the laboratory's proven capabilities in space systems, precision navigation, and weapons system integration.
