...the U.S. Air Force has exercised a $1.3 million option with Kratos' Integral Systems group for continued support of the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP).

Kratos has an extensive track record of providing services to the DMSP, with this year marking the 25th anniversary of our strong partnership."
