On April 8, V2X Inc. announced that it has been awarded a $62 million contract to continue its critical work ensuring operational readiness of the COBRA DANE radar system in Alaska. This award solidifies V2X’s position as a leading provider of operational readiness, capability enhancements, and engineering support for COBRA DANE, an extremely powerful and sophisticated radar in the U.S. Space Force arsenal.
“V2X has been the trusted partner in ensuring the continuous operational readiness of COBRA DANE,” said Jeremy Wensinger, president and chief executive officer of V2X. “Additionally, V2X has incorporated various engineering enhancement to this essential system, extending its capabilities and readiness. This full-spectrum support emphasizes our differentiated capabilities in radar operations, readiness, and commitment to supporting national security by providing persistent space domain awareness and missile defense.”
Standing 120 feet tall with a 95-foot diameter phased-array face, COBRA DANE is a critical component of the nation’s defense architecture. It can detect and track objects up to 2,000 miles away, supporting U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense. Additionally, the radar plays a key role in space domain awareness, identifying and characterizing satellites and debris in Earth’s orbit.
With this contract extension, V2X continues its legacy in providing full-spectrum mission solutions to ensure the continuous readiness of this essential radar system. The extension work is expected to be completed by March 2027.
