SAN DIEGO, Jan. 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army has awarded a task order to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions to provide its modeling services to support U.S. missile defense applications.

U.S. company Kratos says its Digital Fusion Solutions Division was selected for the task order as part of the company's Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command Integrated Test and Analysis contract.

Under the $9 million deal, Kratos will develop phenomenology and lethality models and provide maintenance support for the missile defense program.

"This task award demonstrates our commitment to our customers and to the technical advancement of the Defense Department modeling and simulation enterprise," Charles Farmer, Kratos Digital Fusion Solutions Integration, Test, Training and Analysis group vice president, said in a statement.
