Intuitive Machines has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lanteris Space Systems, has been selected by L3Harris Technologies to support the development and production of spacecraft platforms for the Space Development Agency’s Tranche 3 Tracking Layer programme under the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture.
Under the agreement, Intuitive Machines will design, manufacture and deliver 18 advanced spacecraft platforms to support next-generation space-based missile tracking capabilities. The platforms will contribute to the Space Development Agency’s objective of providing persistent, real-time tracking of advanced missile threats, including hypersonic and ballistic systems.
Steve Altemus, CEO, Intuitive Machines, said: “This builds on a foundation of proven performance and mission trust earned through previous tracking layer selections that we look forward to carrying forward with L3Harris and the Space Development Agency. Intuitive Machines is focused on building spacecraft platforms and the systems needed to sustain missions persistently and at scale, as part of complex mission architectures, including the SDA Tranche 3 Tracking Layer programme.”
The Tranche 3 Tracking Layer enhances the SDA ability to integrate higher performance sensing and on-orbit data processing, contributing to a resilient, layered space architecture that delivers broader global coverage and improved responsiveness for defense and allied users.
