US Space Force Pays Amentum $16.4M to Secure the Lab Where NORAD Missile Warning Software Is Tested
Space Systems Command awarded Amentum Technology a $16.4 million sole-source contract to operate a System Integration Laboratory supporting NORAD’s Cheyenne Mountain missile-warning software enterprise. The work covers secure access for government and contractor personnel, cybersecurity infrastructure and facility security for development, testing and integration within the Integrated Tactical Warning/Attack Assessment environment. Activities will be performed primarily in Colorado Springs through October 31, 2030, with approximately $3.93 million obligated at award. The contract secures the laboratory used to validate software changes before operational integration, extending Amentum’s role alongside its separately awarded support for the wider warning system.
