US Space Force Contracts Northrop Grumman For New Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) Site

The US Space Force has awarded Northrop Grumman a contract for a second Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) site for “GEO space domain awareness and tracking.” The development is part of deepening cooperation between the three staunch allies, the US, the UK, and Australia. Meanwhile, the US is reportedly looking for more ways to deepen its AUKUS agreement with Australia and other allies, potentially in the aerospace realm.
