The Missile Defense Space Architectures department directly supports the Missile Defense Agency's Space Capabilities office. As the primary interface to this component of MDA, we help our customer understand their acquisition and development requirements, coordinate and provide technical expertise through our extensive reachback model, and ensure success across a variety of projects.
