Firefly Subsidiary Scitec Wins Space Force Missile Defense Agreement in $3.2B Program
Summary
Firefly Aerospace's subsidiary, Scitec, has secured an agreement to advance the Space Force's space-based missile defense under the 'Golden Dome' program. This agreement is part of a broader initiative where the Space Force awarded 20 Other Transaction Authority (OTA) agreements worth up to $3.2 billion to 12 companies, including Scitec.
