FOO Fighter Critical Design Review Completed in Just 10 Months
Millennium Space Systems Technology Will Demonstrate Advanced Missile Defense Capability
Just 10 months after receiving authorization to proceed, Millennium Space Systems has completed the Critical Design Review (CDR) on its Fire-control On Orbit-support-to-the-war Fighter (FOO Fighter) technology. FOO Fighter will demonstrate advanced missile defense capability by incorporating fire control-quality sensors into a prototype constellation.
"This collaboration with L3 is a testament to what can be achieved when industry leaders come together to push the limits of what's possible."

"Meeting rapid timelines is essential to ensuring we deliver mission capabilities when needed," said Doug Hulse, portfolio lead, Millennium Space Systems. "Completing the FOO Fighter critical design review in just 10 months highlights the efficiency and determination of our team. Our focus is always on providing the warfighter with the tools they need, and this achievement underscores our commitment to delivering mission requirements on time."
"This collaboration with L3 is a testament to what can be achieved when industry leaders come together to push the limits of what's possible," said Tony Gingiss, CEO, Millennium Space Systems.
The successful completion of CDR marks the transition to the production phase of the program, which includes delivering a constellation of eight satellites with a ground system in 2026. Millennium will perform mission operations once in orbit.
