Redwire Corporation (NYSE: RDW), a leader in space
infrastructure for the next generation space economy, was awarded a
$45,469,600, five-year cost-plus-fixed-fee contract that will be
incrementally funded by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)
Space Vehicles Directorate for the design, development, and testing
of prototype software and hardware for mission critical
technologies. The contract will support the AFRL Space Vehicles
Directorate’s efforts to equip the joint warfighter with a spectrum
of agile, effective, resilient, and affordable space mission
capabilities.
Redwire will research and develop novel and emerging spacecraft
technologies to include large deployable structures, thermal
management capabilities, payload accommodations, and improved
analysis and testing methods for in-space and terrestrial national
security applications. This contract builds on a previously awarded
AFRL contract to mature space domain technologies from early
functional proof of concept through demonstration of full system or
architecture prototypes.
“We are honored to have the opportunity to continue supporting
AFRL’s Space Vehicles Directorate through this new contract award,”
said Adam Biskner, President of Redwire Space Systems. “We have a
long and proud legacy of supporting AFRL, and this award
demonstrates our joint interest in continuing to support the
mission of developing and transitioning space technologies to
provide enhanced space-based capabilities to the warfighter.”
Redwire will perform the contracted work in Albuquerque, New
Mexico. Redwire’s team in Albuquerque specializes in mechanical,
structural, and thermal technologies for satellite and space launch
applications. Redwire’s Albuquerque site has been awarded several
AFRL contracts that have culminated in full flight experiments and
cutting-edge space technologies used to better the success of AFRL
and its mission.
