The IDIQ procures a multi-domain defense system to detect, track, intercept, and neutralize threats to the U.S. homeland, deployed forces, allies, and friends. It provides layered protection against air, missile, space, cyber, and hybrid threats across all phases of flight, including ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles and other advanced aerial attacks. Work areas include research and development, prototyping, disruptive technologies, systems engineering, weapon design, production, test and evaluation, cybersecurity, and modernization. The structure supports classified and unclassified programs across multiple security domains, and orders at differing classification levels, where issued, require appropriate facility clearances.
