# Space Force Awards SEWOL Prototype Agreements

On November 12, 2026, the U.S. Space Force, through Space Systems Command and Combat Forces Command, awarded Anduril Industries, Booz Allen Hamilton, and Peerless Technologies Phase I agreements totaling roughly $10 million for a three-month competition to prototype the Space Electromagnetic Warfare Operating Location (SEWOL) command-and-control system. Each awardee must deliver working software for evaluation, and the Space Force expects to select one company to build the operational system as part of a $60 million prototype program.

- The competition creates a **potential follow-on award** for the selected company and possible integration work involving modular interfaces, cloud-native command and control, and DevSecOps.
- Companies pursuing related defense software work should note the emphasis on evaluated, working prototypes rather than paper proposals; the program’s stated approach uses Other Transactions and competitive prototyping.
- The three Phase I awardees are identified, but the signals do not specify a proposal deadline, contract numbers, or a procurement contact.
