APG, Maryland, 7 January 2026 – Ace Electronics Defense Systems, LLC. has been awarded a contract to the Missile Defense Agency (“MDA”) SHIELD Multiple Award IDIQ contract vehicle with a ceiling of $151 Billion. The MDA requires an advanced, multi-domain defense system capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing threats to the United States homeland, its deployed forces, allies, and friends across all phases of flight from ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles, as well as other advanced aerial attacks.
This contract will support national defense objectives by ensuring continuous, layered protection against air, missiles, space, cyber, and hybrid threats originating from any vector: land, sea, air, space, or cyberspace.

SHIELD will also provide rapid delivery of innovative capabilities to the warfighter with increased speed and agility, leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning-enabled applications where pertinent, and maximizing use of digital engineering, open systems architectures, model-based systems engineering, and agile processes in the acquisition, development, fielding, and sustainment of these capabilities. If all options are exercised, work will continue through December 2035.
