HUNTSVILLE – Resolution, a Huntsville-based small business, has been selected as an awardee for a contract by the Missile Defense Agency.
The Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity multiple award contract is for the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense, a multi-layered defense architecture intended to deliver continuous protection against a wide spectrum of evolving threats, the company said in a news release.
According to the release, faster acquisition of the technology needed to underpin homeland defense is a strategic goal of SHIELD.
“We are honored to be selected for this important mission,” said Mary Scott Hunter, president of Resolution, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, Woman-Owned, and SBA 8(a) certified company. “This award reflects the trust MDA has placed in our team’s dedication, technical excellence, and unwavering commitment to our nation’s defense.

SHIELD is a 10-year contract with a $151 billion ceiling and is the primary vehicle for the development of a nationwide missile defense system. Resolution’s IDIQ award qualifies it to fulfill task orders for government customers committed to the development of the architecture.
