Firefly Subsidiary Secures $5.5M Option in $24M Air Force Battle Management Contract
FLY•SciTec, Firefly Aerospace’s defense subsidiary, received a $5.5 million option under a $24 million ABMS IDIQ contract to deliver its cloud-based data fusion system for the U.S. Air Force’s CBC2 program. The system will support NORAD, USNORTHCOM and PACAF with integrated military and civilian data feeds for enhanced situational awareness.
1. Contract Award Details
SciTec, a wholly owned subsidiary of Firefly Aerospace, has executed a $5.5 million option under its initial $24 million IDIQ award for the Advanced Battle Management System. This option expands SciTec’s role in delivering operational data fusion to the Department of the Air Force’s CBC2 program.
2. System Capabilities
The cloud-based data fusion system ingests multiple military and civilian data feeds, merging them with additional sources to provide a unified battlespace picture. Its agile, scalable architecture is designed for rapid updates and high-speed decision support.
3. Strategic Defense Impact
CBC2 serves as the command-and-control node for NORAD, USNORTHCOM and PACAF, enhancing homeland defense situational awareness. SciTec’s solution is key to the U.S. Air Force’s shift toward integrated, all-domain battle management.
4. Financial and Growth Implications
While the $5.5 million option is a modest addition to Firefly’s overall revenue, it reinforces the company’s position in defense software. Continued CBC2 awards could drive larger follow-on contracts and deepen SciTec’s footprint in military cloud solutions.
