On December 30, 2025, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions successfully concluded the factory acceptance test of its EPOCH® Command and Control software against Airbus’s OneSat software-defined satellite platform. Over a multi-day validation campaign, Kratos and Airbus engineers executed and passed all dynamic mission scenarios—ranging from rapid beam steering exercises to autonomous reconfiguration sequences—verifying full hardware/software interoperability, simulated telemetry exchanges, and compliance with stringent safety and redundancy protocols. This milestone confirms EPOCH® C2’s readiness for delivery and operational deployment, marking the first ground segment solution certified to support OneSat’s in-orbit reprogrammable payloads and reinforcing Kratos’s position as a leading provider of next-generation satellite control systems.

Kratos announced on December 29, 2025 that it has been awarded approximately $30 million in new production contracts for air defense and C5ISR military-grade hardware. Work will be executed in Kratos’s secure manufacturing facilities and will cover high-volume fabrication of custom missile, radar, counter-UAS and hypersonic subsystems, as well as directed energy and satellite communication components. Tom Mills, President of Kratos’s C5ISR Division, highlighted the company’s early-stage collaboration on system-level design and its ability to deliver complex solutions at scale, while CEO Eric DeMarco underscored Kratos’s ongoing mass production runs across multiple defense programs. These awards are expected to contribute materially to the company’s 2026 revenue backlog and reinforce Kratos’s leadership in mil-spec hardware supply for national security applications.
