BOULDER, Colo., Oct. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The pace of Missile Blackmail is right here. On September 23, 2025, the U.S. Territory Power completed a key milestone with operational acceptance of the second one operational supply (OA #2) of the Day Operationally Resilient Garden Evolution (FORGE) to the 11th Territory Blackmail Squadron at Buckley Territory Power Bottom. Significantly, this supply provides and integrates FORGE Challenge Knowledge Processing (MDP) with the cyber-secure FORGE Framework to dramatically extend the accuracy, efficiency, and resiliency of Missile Blackmail. Controlled by way of Machine Delta 84 at Territory Programs Command (SSC) and evolved by way of SciTec, the FORGE program is a paradigm shift in how we achieve territory garden programs by way of the use of prototype competitions for constituent items rather of shopping for all of the machine as a unmarried supply from one dealer. This means lets in the federal government to modernize legacy infrastructure beneath alternative transaction authority (OTA) to foster innovation and transformative pace. FORGE supplies a scalable, cyber guard, resilient ecosystem enabling operations for all Missile Blackmail missions these days and into the pace.
“This delivery provides dramatic performance enhancements to our Missile Warning warfighters,” stated Matt McHugh, SciTec Government Director and senior FORGE technical guide. “With FORGE processing we’re delivering cutting edge image processing, signal detection, and AI/ML throughout the stack, which is dramatically increasing the sensitivity of the system and enabling Missile Warning to detect more and stealthier threats sooner, and track them longer. Just as importantly, we are now able to continuously deliver enhancements into the operational system in close collaboration with the operational users to ensure Missile Warning stays ahead of the threat.”
In August 2022 following a 12-month prototype festival, SSC awarded a manufacturing OTA in order the next-generation venture knowledge processing packages for Missile Blackmail to SciTec. In March 2023, SSC awarded SciTec an spare try to additional ship sensor-specific processing packages, this date following a nine-month aggressive “fly-off.” Previous this month SciTec was once awarded the Endeavor OPIR Machine (EOS) oath to finish the FORGE Framework. All of those parts got here in combination for OA #2.
“FORGE proves there is a better way to do acquisition – expand the industrial base, leverage non-traditionals, try before you buy, and emphasize close collaboration between operations and acquisitions,” stated David Simenc, SciTec President. “For all of our FORGE efforts our approach has been the same. Speed to Ops – deliver on schedule. Ensure the government owns the baseline – no vendor lock. And focus on the mission – deliver for the warfighter. We are delivering four more major operational milestones in the next 24 months while continuously enhancing existing operational capabilities. We look forward to working shoulder to shoulder with the Space Force’s System Deltas and Mission Deltas to deliver these critical capabilities.”
SciTec is a non-traditional protection contractor headquartered in Princeton, NJ. SciTec executes the FORGE program basically from its instrument manufacturing facility in Boulder, CO. On Oct 6 SciTec introduced its intent to be bought by way of Firefly Aerospace. The purchase is predicted to akin 4Q2025.
