Kratos (NASDAQ:KTOS) received an approximately $36 million sole-source contract for a new air defense missile system supporting a U.S. national security program, with work executed at a secure Kratos facility.

The award comes amid increased demand for air defense hardware across U.S. and allied defense programs.
