MELBOURNE, Fla., April 7, 2025 — L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX) has received the next contract option year from U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to continue sustainment and modernization of ground system infrastructure for the nation’s Space Domain Awareness (SDA) capabilities in support of the Space Force’s space superiority mission.

The contract is in year six of 10 for the Maintenance of Space Situational Awareness Integrated Capabilities (MOSSAIC) program, which detects, tracks and identifies deep space objects to deliver surveillance information to military, civil and commercial users. 

“L3Harris’ work on the MOSSAIC program is a testament to our commitment of ensuring warfighters maintain a competitive edge in contested environments,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “Upgrading the MOSSAIC program enables the Space Force to better understand space-based threats.”

The Space Force initially selected L3Harris for the MOSSAIC contract in 2020 to maintain and upgrade sensors and command and control systems, which provide timely and accurate data.

L3Harris has served the Space Force and other agencies as a trusted partner for more than 30 years with differentiated SDA capabilities, technology, research and development, and services that keep U.S. Space Surveillance Network optical sensors and systems running with high reliability, availability and provide mission-critical capabilities to warfighters.
