SpaceX beats ULA for 9 upcoming DOD launches. "There are at least 30 missions in Lane 1 that the Space Force plans to award to launch providers through 2029, primarily to launch hundreds of small spacecraft for the Pentagon's Space Development Agency. SDA is deploying a proliferated satellite constellation designed to detect and track enemy missiles and relay the missile warning data to military units that can shoot down the threats."

"The SDA is seeking to procure around 200 satellites from different solicitations for Tranche 3 of its low-Earth orbit megaconstellation. The Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture, as SDA calls their constellation, is envisioned as the “backbone” for the Pentagon’s joint all-domain command and control (JADC2) efforts, providing both data transport and missile warning/tracking satellites that can connect sensors and shooters around the globe."
