The contract covers one base year with nine option years. The value of the contract may increase through future options. The Space Superiority Systems Wing is responsible for delivering and sustaining space control systems to ensure space superiority for the United States. These include offensive and defensive counterspace systems and space situation awareness capabilities needed to gain and maintain space superiority.

Harris teammates on the program include General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems, Santa Clara, California; TMC Design, Colorado Springs, Colorado; and L-3 Technical Management Services Division, Albuquerque, New Mexico.
