V2X Inc. has won a $62 million contract to continue supporting the operational readiness of the COBRA DANE radar system in Alaska.
The company said the award reinforces its role as a key provider of readiness, capability upgrades and engineering support for the high-powered radar system used by the U.S. Space Force.
“V2X has been the trusted partner in ensuring the continuous operational readiness of COBRA DANE,” said Jeremy C. Wensinger, president and CEO of V2X. “Additionally, V2X has incorporated various engineering enhancement to this essential system, extending its capabilities and readiness. This full-spectrum support emphasizes our differentiated capabilities in radar operations, readiness, and commitment to supporting national security by providing persistent space domain awareness and missile defense.”
Standing 120 feet tall with a 95-foot diameter phased-array face, COBRA DANE is a key part of the nation’s defense architecture. It can detect and track objects up to 2,000 miles away in support of U.S. ballistic missile defense. The radar also supports space domain awareness by identifying and characterizing satellites and debris in Earth’s orbit.
Under the extended contract, V2X will continue delivering full-spectrum mission support to maintain the system’s readiness. Work is expected to be completed by March 2027.
