Reditus Space onboarding onto SHIELD IDIQ

The Missile Defense Agencies Golden Dome Acquisition Vehicle

Announcement

Press Release

Reditus Space is ramping onto the Missile Defense Agencies SHIELD Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle.


Reditus Space is pleased to announce that the company is ramping onto the Missile Defense Agencies $151B SHIELD Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle, positioning the company to support government customers with high frequency access to the hypersonic environment. Participation in SHIELD enables Reditus Space to engage directly with defense and civil agencies through a streamlined contracting mechanism designed to accelerate the development, demonstration, and operationalization of advanced space technologies.

Hypersonics

Via the SHIELD IDIQ, Reditus Space intends to support hypersonic payloads requiring exposure to high-enthalpy, high-Mach, and aerothermodynamically relevant flight regimes, coupled with controlled recovery and post-flight analysis. Leveraging the ENOS reusable platform, Reditus Space plans to offer an integrated mission architecture encompassing payload integration, orbital hosting, targeted deorbit and re-entry profiles, recovery operations, and rapid payload return. This end-to-end approach is designed to enable direct correlation between in-flight hypersonic conditions and post-flight inspection, material characterization, and system performance assessment.

Ramping onto SHIELD reflects Reditus Space’s commitment to building hypersonic infrastructure that supports rapid experimentation, frequent flight opportunities, and reliable return from extreme environments. Through this vehicle, Reditus Space plans to serve as a responsive partner for government programs seeking scalable, flight-proven platforms to advance hypersonic payload development from early demonstration through operationally relevant testing.
