US Space Force Selects L3Harris to Continue Modernization of Space Domain Awareness Program ATLAS
March 25, 2025 | L3Harris TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
L3Harris Technologies has received a $90 million follow-on, sole-source contract from U.S. Space Force Space Systems Command to further advance the nation’s Space Domain Awareness (SDA), a top Department of Defense priority.
The Space Force selected the company to develop, integrate and deliver a package of astrometric tools that will increase the capability of the Advanced Tracking and Launch Analysis System (ATLAS), which integrates all SDA, space command and control (C2), intelligence, operational and system readiness-relevant data to help drive course-of-action development and decisions. This new continuation contract will modernize C2 by increasing the speed, accuracy and relevancy in tracking satellites and space debris.
“We recognize Space Domain Awareness is critical to the Space Force and is essential to defending vital national interests,” said Ed Zoiss, President, Space and Airborne Systems, L3Harris. “Our work on the ATLAS program will enhance space operations and will help prevent adversaries from disrupting, degrading and destroying U.S. space capabilities.”
The ATLAS modernization will improve the Space Force’s ability to avoid operational surprise and ensure warfighters can quickly and accurately respond to emerging anti-satellite threats. For more than 30 years, L3Harris has provided mission-proven solutions for the nation’s space superiority mission to protect assets and increase warfighter readiness.
