MDA SPACE SELECTED BY BAE SYSTEMS FOR U.S. SPACE SYSTEMS COMMAND MEO EPOCH 2 CONSTELLATION
MDA Space Ltd. has been selected by BAE Systems Inc. as part of the U.S. Space Systems Command (SSC) MEO EPOCH 2 Constellation program.
A key component of the U.S. multiorbit missile defence architecture, Epoch 2 is focused on warning and tracking of advanced ballistic and hypersonic weapons. MDA Space will design and build antennas and antenna control electronics for the MEO resilient missile warning and tracking (RMWT) satellites to be produced by BAE Systems.
This award is a continuation of previous work by MDA Space on the Space Development Agency's low earth orbit proliferated warfighter space architecture tranche 0, 1 and 2 transport and tracking layers, and the SSC's EPOCH 1 constellation, for multiple prime contractors.
"Being tapped by BAE Systems for the SSC's missile warning satellite constellation affirms our capabilities in delivering reliable satellite solutions for critical defence missions," said Mike Greenley, chief executive officer of MDA Space. "As governments worldwide boost their national security spending and invest in the space domain, our robust product portfolio, expertise and advanced high-volume production infrastructure set MDA Space apart to meet the growing demand and keep our partners safe today and into the future."
The contract was added to MDA Space's backlog in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and the work is expected to be completed in 2027.
