InterFuze is among the first round of prime contractors awarded on the MDA Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) MAC IDIQ.
MDA requires advanced, multi-domain defense systems and solutions capable of detecting, tracking, intercepting, and neutralizing or otherwise negating threats to the United States homeland, its deployed forces, allies, and friends across all phases of flight by ballistic, hypersonic, cruise missile, and other advanced aerial attacks. MDA SHIELD 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.
