This contract, designated as the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) IDIQ, utilizes full and open competition with no set-aside restrictions and was awarded on December 29, 2025, following a pre-solicitation notice posted on May 21, 2025, with a solicitation due date of September 15, 2025. The contract was structured to support both classified and unclassified defense programs across multiple security domains over a 10-year period of performance consisting of a base ordering period and one or more optional ordering periods.
Under this IDIQ vehicle, Vector Atomic is positioned to provide research and development, prototyping, systems engineering, and production support for advanced multi-domain defense systems capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles. The initial task order issued under the SHIELD IDIQ, titled "Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) Initial Order," was awarded on December 29, 2025, with a firm fixed price of $500 and a place of performance in Huntsville, Alabama. Given Vector Atomic's established expertise in quantum-enabled atomic clocks, inertial measurement units, frequency combs, and precision timing systems developed through prior MDA and other Department of Defense agency contracts, the company is expected to leverage its quantum sensing and navigation capabilities to support the SHIELD program's multi-layered defense requirements, including GPS-free navigation, secure communications, and advanced sensing applications critical to homeland and military defense operations.
