The U.S. Space Force awarded General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems, a Contract for a Second Weather Satellite.
Under the Space Systems Command Contract modification announced July 11th, General Atomics will provide Three years of Operational Services for Two Electro-Optical Weather System (EWS), Satellites.
This Award modifies the current GA-EMS Contract to Design and Deliver an Operational EWS Spacecraft with integrated EO/IR Ppayloads to support the Transition of the USSF's aging Defense Meteorological Support Program (DMSP) on-orbit systems to a New Generation of Affordable, High-Performance, Small Weather Satellites.
"This contract is a testament to GA-EMS' ability to design and deliver advanced EWS satellites that will provide timely, accurate weather data to support Department of Defense operations across all domains," said Scott Forney, President of GA-EMS.
"We are currently working toward the delivery of the first EWS satellite and associated ground systems, with spacecraft build and EO/IR payload testing well underway. We are excited to begin the build and integration of a second EWS satellite to help support USSF efforts to extend EO/IR data collection capabilities as legacy DMSP satellites are retired."
