April 8, 2026 | L3Harris TechnologiesEstimated reading time: 1 minute
L3Harris Technologies has received a $150 million contract from the U.S. Space Force’s Space Systems Command to sustain and modernize critical ground systems, which enable faster decision-making, earlier threat warning and sustained space superiority. The contract is part of the Maintenance of Space Situational Awareness Integrated Capabilities (MOSSAIC) program.
“MOSSAIC underscores the confidence Space Force places in our ability to deliver advanced capabilities that strengthen space domain awareness,” said Jeff Hanke, President, Space Systems, Space & Mission Systems, L3Harris. “We are leveraging decades of ground systems experience and rapid innovation to give warfighters earlier threat detection, faster response and the assurance needed to prevail in a contested domain.”
The MOSSAIC program is entering its seventh year of a decade-long effort to deliver reliable, high-availability surveillance data to military, civil and commercial stakeholders, ensuring commanders have timely, accurate insight to protect critical space assets and maintain freedom of action in space.
L3Harris has provided differentiated space domain awareness technologies, research and mission-critical services in support of national defense and security for than more 30 years.

Defense Speak Interpreted: Understanding What the Department of Defense Is, and Isn’t
05/12/2026 | Dennis Fritz -- Column: Defense Speak InterpretedI frequently hear the expression, “Why can’t the Department of Defense … .” Most recently, I heard it in reference to the Artemis splash-down after the launch around the moon. I realized there is some misunderstanding about which military or space activities are controlled by the Department of Defense (DoD) and which are not. Defense is a huge organization with many activities, but there are several differences with non-Defense organizations that are worth pointing out.
