Leonardo DRS says U.S. Space Force awarded prototype agreement to advance scalable sensors for tracking fast-moving threats

The U.S. Space Force awarded Leonardo DRS an Other Transaction Agreement to prototype next-generation sensors for detecting, identifying, tracking, and targeting fast-moving threats in support of space-superiority and space-control missions. Leonardo DRS says the effort will combine advanced detection and processing with production methods intended to lower cost, scale output, and strengthen supply-chain resilience. The announcement concerns prototype development rather than an operational constellation or production award, and neither party disclosed the agreement's value, schedule, sensor configuration, planned quantity, test milestones, or specific threat classes beyond the broad fast-moving-target requirement.
