Millennium Space Systems, a Boeing [NYSE: BA] subsidiary, has completed the critical design review (CDR) for its FOO Fighter program in just 10 months after receiving authorization. The program aims to demonstrate advanced missile defense capability through a prototype constellation with fire control-quality sensors.

The completion of CDR signals the transition to the production phase, which involves delivering a constellation of eight satellites with a ground system in 2026. The project, developed in collaboration with L3 for the Space Development Agency, will be operated by Millennium once in orbit.

Millennium Space Systems, una sussidiaria di Boeing [NYSE: BA], ha completato la revisione critica del progetto (CDR) per il suo programma FOO Fighter in soli 10 mesi dopo aver ricevuto l'autorizzazione. Il programma mira a dimostrare capacità avanzate di difesa missilistica attraverso una costellazione prototipale con sensori di qualità per il controllo del fuoco.

Il completamento del CDR segna la transizione alla fase di produzione, che prevede la consegna di una costellazione di otto satelliti con un sistema a terra nel 2026. Il progetto, sviluppato in collaborazione con L3 per l'Agenzia per lo Sviluppo Spaziale, sarà gestito da Millennium una volta in orbita.
