The Pentagon’s Space Development Agency on Monday awarded $1.5 billion in contracts to Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.
SDA said the 72 satellites will be for the"Beta" variant of its Tranche 2 Transport Layer constellation, a network the U.S. military is building to provide encrypted communications through a fleet of hundreds of satellites – which it calls the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.
Lockheed and Northrop will each build 36 of the prototype satellites, scheduled to begin launching by September 2026. Lockheed's contract is worth $816 million, and Northrop's is worth $733 million. An SDA spokesperson told CNBC that the agency received six proposals for the contract.
