About this award
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) was awarded a $20.2M delivery order on October 6, 2025, by the Space and Missile Systems Center to provide technical development expertise, systems engineering and analysis, modeling and simulation, and hardware and software prototyping in support of the Space-Based Interceptor (SBI) program. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of February 28, 2030, will be performed in Laurel, Maryland, and supports the Space Command and Control (SPACE C2) acquisition program under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The award was not issued under any set-aside designation, reflecting the specialized and technical nature of the services required for this defense space capability initiative.
This delivery order represents a task order against one of APL's existing IDIQ vehicles and leverages the laboratory's extensive expertise in systems engineering, prototype development, and advanced technical services for Department of Defense space programs. APL's substantial portfolio of similar contracts with the Space and Missile Systems Center, Missile Defense Agency, and other defense components demonstrates its established capabilities in developing sophisticated space-based defense systems. As a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center and federally funded research and development center, APL maintains specialized technical infrastructure and workforce expertise critical to supporting complex space acquisition initiatives requiring rigorous systems analysis and prototype development activities.
