V2X awarded $62M contract to continue work at Cobra Dane radar system in Alaska

V2X (VVX) has been awarded a $62M 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. 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. The extension work is expected to be completed by March 2027.
