Air Force Space Command’s Space and Missile Systems Center at Los Angeles has contracted with ITT for another two years to provide systems engineering at the nation’s two space launch facilities—the eastern range at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla., and western range at Vandenberg AFB, Calif. The contract is worth $18.3 million and runs to October 2008.
While the Space Force is still making long-term plans to establish high-fidelity live and virtual test and training ranges in the coming years, officials say they're also working with operators to identify near-term gaps and quickly field capabilities to address them.
