MDA SHIELD

Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense

What is MDA SHIELD?

The Missile Defense Agency’s Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) contract is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle established to give MDA and other Department of Defense organizations a fast, flexible way to acquire layered defense capabilities against threats from the air, sea, land, space, and cyber domains. Spanning a ten-year period of performance with a maximum ceiling of $151 billion, SHIELD covers both classified and unclassified work across a broad set of mission areas — from science and technology, research and development, and prototyping through systems engineering, production, testing, sustainment, and cybersecurity. Rather than running a separate competition for every requirement, MDA and authorized DoD entities can issue task orders directly under this single enterprise vehicle, accelerating the delivery of critical missile defense capability to the warfighter.

Scope of a Contract

The MDA requires an advanced, multidomain 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 by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles and other advanced aerial attacks. This contract will support national defense objectives by ensuring continuous, layered protection against air, missile, space, cyber and hybrid threats originating from any vector — land, sea, air, space or cyberspace. This effort supports services and supplies of both classified and unclassified programs on multiple security domains.
