Divert and Attitude Control Systems (DACS)

This subcontract involves the design and manufacture of axial or lateral divert thrusters for prime contractors supporting Missile Defense Agency kill vehicle projects. The objective is to develop a functional Divert and Attitude Control Systems subsystem, including hardware and control logic, featuring propulsion control valves and propellant tanks. These thrusters must be optimized for lower price points while maintaining controllable thrust levels and long duty cycles. Technical compliance requires adherence to Interface Control Documents and a successful TRL 5 demonstration. The opportunity was posted on August 19, 2026, with a response deadline of October 2, 2026. This project falls under NAICS code 325211 and is managed by the Department of Defense for the Missile Defense Agency.
